| 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? Yes, we're supposed to be but we have two big additions nearly ready but not quite validate free so we have pushed it out a few days. | 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? I defer to the bytestring maintainers: Don Stewart and Duncan Coutts. Don, Duncan: were you wanting to get these changes into 7.4?
