If this proposal is accepted, monads-fd would be obsoleted and transformers would be turned over to community control (like the current mtl package). So, if this proposal is accepted, then we would have:

- transformers on HP. - mtl on HP (depending on transformers). - monads-tf on Hackage (depending on transformers).

Wouldn't it be better to obsolete mtl and have:

- transformers on HP. - monads-fd on HP (depending on transformers). - monads-tf on Hackage (depending on transformers).

The naming would be more consistent.

I'm leaning towards this solution for just this reason. Apart from the fact that the current mtl uses FDs, is there any reason why monads-fd is preferred over monads-tf?

Then maybe mtl-2 could contain both monads-fd and monads-tf. But I see that monads-fd and monads-tf still use the same module names. Are there plans to disambiguate them?
