I got asked a question today about why Control.Applicative is labeled as "experimental" on Hackage. Perhaps that field is something of a failed experiment, and it remaining there is likely to confuse people.
Just a thought... not sure of the best place to mention it.
I don't think that's a proper rationale to remove the feature, because every feature can be used in a wrong way. It appears to be quite natural to me that people forget to update their module headers, but there are also programmers, who manage their comments very responsibly, including the module header. Personally I used to use the feature, but at some point I abandoned it, because although I always update the comments associated with definitions, I tend to forget the module's head comment. Also since my modules are mostly very related, the stability is a package property for me rather than a module property. If you are serious about removing failed experiments, there are more important places to get started at. ;) Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://ertes.de/
