Yes -- Andy Cheadle and Tony Field (whose paper is in ICFP00) are planning to bring their incremental GC fully into GHC, so it'll become part of the distribution. I think Andy will be delighted to have a Real Customer! So far, GC is sufficiently unobtrusive that no one notices, so it'll be fun to have someone who does. Are there any other GHC users who notice GC pauses?

However, it doesn't really bother me a lot because I am not a real-time person. Happy old year:-).
