Hi all, After discussing this proposal at ICFP and with the Haskell Platform committee, we've decided that there's a rough consensus for adding vector to the platform. We will leave the following open issue for the future: * Using SafeHaskell in the platform in general, and in vector in particular. This would be a large commitment for the platform, as we'd implicitly be telling our users that we've deemed the packages in the platform trustworthy. This is not something we should do without committing to making sure they are, which is something we are not willing to do just yet (as it requires a large amount of work, now and later). The vector package will be added without the .Safe modules (which no one wants). P.S. I you haven't watched Mark's state of the platform talk already, I recommend that you do so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st22QE-g0uo Cheers, Johan, with his HP committee hat on
