I find it funny that conduit is said to be an iteratee library since it has no iteratees! We've had more than one iteratee library since at least 1.5 years with the iteratee (Mar 2009) and enumerator (Aug 2010) packages, and AFAIK now we have four iteratee libraries: those two, iterIO (May 2011) and pipes (Jan 2012). However, conduit is not the fifth since it has no iteratees, no enumerators, no enumeratees... it's a different concept, not a different implementation.
But it does try to solve the problem, doesn't it? Obviously conduit is an alternative to the iteratee-like packages. Why else would Yesod replace enumerator by conduit? That is the reason why I added it into my list of iteratee-like packages. Jean
