Hello GHC HQ, According to the GHC Status October 2011 Report[3], the GHC 7.4 branch is supposed to be in "feature freeze" by now. Does this affect/include the bytestring library (as it happens to be a GHC-boot library) as well? More specifically, if the ongoing proposals "Add {to,from}Strict conversion functions between strict and lazy ByteStrings"[1] and "Add NFData instances for strict and lazy ByteStrings"[2] succeed, what's the next stable GHC release they're gonna be included in?
