Since there is no reason what so ever to integrate this external Haskell indenter tightly into haskell-mode, I don't see any reason to do so. Doing so would only mean that haskell-mode will most likely never be a part of Emacs, meaning that anyone looking for programming Haskell in Emacs would have to download an external library, be it through package.el or not.
To put it short, there are no pros in making the new Haskell indenter a strict part of haskell-mode.
Sure there is. I expect there to be quite a lot of shared code. It's not solely an indenter; the same interface and capabilities will be used for a debugger, refactoring, and type signature info. Haskell-mode should still work without it, to about the same degree as today, but actually doing so would be a *major* degradation compared to the state of the art once I'm done with it. In any case, I expect the actual installation to be via cabal-install. -- Svein Ove Aas
