There are some blog posts and comments out there about merging cereal

It's most definitely the goal and it's basically done. The only thing I don't think we'll adopt from cereal is the instances from container types.

Why not? Those instances are useful. Without instances defined in binary/cereal, pretty much every Happstack (or, better said, every ixset/acidstate/safecopy stack) user will have to have orphan instances.

Also, cereal has a generic instance. Will the new binary?
