(I know who _other person_ is, but it seems unfair to quote IRC with names back at people, given the instant and non-committal nature of IRC)

I would prefer the important discussions to be led not in IRC but in the mailing list. I personally very rarely (almost never) go to channel #haskell because I can't concentrate on my work if I have to follow the endless discussions in the channel. By the way so far your voice seems to be the only one against. I would like to hear what the other guys think.

I would tend to agree with Neil that significant additions to the core libraries should be proven first as separate packages and integrated later. Duncan
