I propose that we change the name of old-locale to time-locale.
+1 But what does this mean in practice? Does it mean we deprecate old-locale in favor of a new package time-locale? (It would be nice if cabal would emit a warning when depending on a deprecated package, just like DEPRECATE pragmas for functions do) What does this mean for the Haskell Platform? Do we add time-locale? Removing old-locale is problematic since a number of packages in the HP depend on it: haskell98 hpc old-time time cgi But it's probably best to just update these packages to work with time and time-locale.
Independently of my proposal to change the name, I also propose that the package description and module haddock comment be changed to state clearly what this package is and is not.
+1 Regards, Bas
