My understanding is that GHC will allow both to be installed, and allow packages that use transformers and those that use mtl to be used together in the same program. What you can't do is use both transformers and mtl directly in the same package, but that's no big loss.
If this is true, then I will no longer complain. What about Hugs and others?
Hugs should be OK: it won't complain about a conflict, and the modules of the same name will be compatible. I don't think any other compilers support functional dependencies, so they would have no mtl to preserve.
