great! i think that inclusion of fps into base was mistake, and now you should understand why
On the other hand it means that we can make other things in base take advantage of Data.ByteString (or Data.PackedString when that becomes available)
1) it will be great to not include FPS into base until you will start to implement such things. anyway, you can't change base between major ghc releases and its the whole problem 2) i'm hardly imagine things that really need to be included in base and use FPS. the whole problem, again, is difficulties with changes in base which prevents its whole development. its much, much better to implement new things in other libs which can be easily installed, upgraded and don't suffer from ghc-version dependency. we should think about removing things from base, not in the opposite direction -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
