Hi,
Indeed, this has been long awaited. Long live Patrick!!! And continue the good work:-)
However, such essential work shouldn't be dependent on heroic effort of an individual. If Haskell is to remain non-commercial a disciplined community effort should be taken akin to Pythonian. Perhaps also thouse of you who teach Haskell could better use cheap labour of students, after all Haskell's module system is not all that weak;-)
Yes, more libraries! 500 is not enough! The best thing anyone here can do for haskell is contribute a library.
