I appreciate that it may be hard/undesirable for some to use the latest GHC, but overall I don't think we should need to maintain backwards compatibility indefinitely because of that. Older versions of containers will still work with older GHCs, and other libraries depending on containers will still work as well as long as they support older container versions.

But nevertheless, at least it seems there are no objections to dropping 7.0 and 7.2.2 support so far? :)

Cheers, Adam

David, I just checked and you're correct - I believe I was remembering some other library(ies), though I can't recall which ones.

On a related note, I find it strange when looking through source code for 'containers'/other Haskell libraries and still see notes about supporting non-GHC Haskell compilers (e.g. Hugs)

I believe we've stripped all references to Hugs and nhc98 from containers. If you find any, let us know. I'd be interested in adding support for Frege, but the way it deals with numeric literals could be problematic.
