Hi Café, I've read the Eternal Compatibility in Theory article [1], is anyone actually using it? I don't see it discussed very much on the internet. My biggest concern about it is that it would be a real pollution in the code, because you must import every module with its version number, i.e. * * *import Data.Maybe_1* instead of * **import Data.Maybe* Thus poluting a lot with version numbers, which are not relevant to what the source code should aim at: help the reader understand it. Secondly, does it means that, as the developper of a package, I have to leave all the previous versions of a module in that package? I.e: Maybe_1.hs, Maybe_2.hs would have to stay in my package? This seems to be very polluting and redundant. So the proposition seems to be "versionning and dependency management are a problem, so let's remove the problem by leaving all previous versions in the package". Did I misunderstood something?
