So here are some options:
1. the proposal as it is now, keeping exposed/hidden state in the package database, don't support "available"
2. Add support for "available". Cons: yet more complexity!
3. Drop the notion of exposed/hidden, all packages are "available". (except for base?). Cons: lots more typing, very non-backwards-compatible, still have to list dependencies in .cabal files.
anyone have any more suggestions? Is there any way to simplify? I rather feel this design is getting a little unwieldy.
Maybe a dumb question, but why not support only exposed and available? Why have hidden modules that cannot be used, even when the programmer explicitly asks for them? /Niklas
