No, since I can get whnf with `seq`. However, that does sound like a good idea (a patch to the parallel library? )
I suspect that patching parallel doesn't scale. It doesn't have a maintainer, so it will be slow, and the package will end up dragging in everything under the sun if we centralise instances in there. I think that the instance belongs in bytestring instead. I know that this would make everything depend on parallel, but that doesn't seem as bad a problem.
