Hi
What's bad about stagnation is that nobody will bother to produce anything better (at least not as a fully polished publicly available open source project), precisely because they have little chance of achieving a user base exceeding 1 (at least not if the attitude of David and Neil is typical of the community culture).
I merely gave the reasons I suspected that David (and others) held their beliefs - I don't share them particularly. As a library author I have produced quite a few libraries (at least 5), and have received useful feedback from users which has helped me improve the libraries further. I think the largest barrier to having many libraries used in projects is the lack of a working cabal-install. Thanks Neil
