a quick question -- i'm assuming that maintaining two versions is out? this is what they do with python 2.7 and 3.1 (and a variety of other systems, like BSD.) it seems like making one version of the system work against two specifications is hard; of course, maintaining two separate systems is also hard.

The Haskell 98 report is basically static, there have been very few changes to it in recent years. I don't think we need to maintain it - it's done. I'd be happy to continue maintaining the Haskell 2010 report for a while though, for backporting thigs like typos and clarifications. Cheers, Simon
