Are there any problems with adding transformers and monads-fd to extralibs pending the Haskell Platform being ready?
That should work, but that wouldn't be till September/October. I'm not sure what the HP schedule is. Another possibility is to upload mtl-2.0 as a compatibility layer.
We already found out, that compatibility to mtl cannot be achieved with a package based on transformers. So why shall we rewrite mtl in terms of transformers+monad-fd at all? I welcome advertising transformers+monad-fd, but I don't see the benefits of breaking mtl.
