Hi,
In 2006, Ashley Yakeley proposed the functor hierarchy proposal (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Functor_hierarchy_proposal), and, in 2007, Brianh (his wiki handle since I don't know his name) proposed the class system extension proposal (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Class_system_extension_proposal).
I recently Googled these proposals and didn't see any significant discussion since they were originally proposed. If there has been some, please point me to it so I can read it.
