It may be a bit late, but in my opinion you might consider changing the package name for future versions. Time is fundamental, ubiquitous, and yet quite complex. There are innumerable ways in which the time package is likely to be extended. Personally, I almost never use syb. Data instances are probably the last thing I would expect to find in a package called "time-extras". So to me this seems like a rather peculiar way to use up such a generic name.
It really means "stuff that ought to be in time, but can't be due to language compatibility reasons". The time-extras package should probably be in the Haskell Platform, and it may eventually get merged into the time package. -- Ashley Yakeley
