I disagree with all of these items, and only support the last item:
* Find every single package depending on old-time and get it to use time instead.
Most importantly, base.
These "old-" packages have been deprecated for long enough. Dump them.
Well, time still depends on old-locale, so if you want to dump them you'll need to do *something* about it. I frankly don't care too much about keeping old-locale or old-time on further life support, I just don't want to start having conflicting implementations of System.Locale; it gives me too many not-fond-memories of the mtl/transformers split. Michael PS: I'm still a little bit in shock that we actually got past the mtl/transformers issue. Well done to everyone involved, especially Ross.
