Re: I've forked test-framework

(Disclosure: I'm the author of tasty.) If there are people who are willing to keep test-framework on life support, it's definitely useful. Let's keep those revdeps from breaking. However, if someone is considering adding new features, I'd encourage them to look at tasty instead. It has a cleaner and smaller code base and is more extensible, but otherwise is very similar in spirit to test-framework. Roman * Greg Weber [2013-10-08 20:03:36-0700]

sorry, I didn't understand what the original message was about. I was talking about a long-term direction

I don't really care about that goal, to be honest; in this case, I just want a minimal number of existing packages to break when GHC 7.8.1 is released.

I would like to reduce the amount of test framework fragmentation. A better path forward might be to use the newer more extensible and well maintained tasty package. I am imagining it is trivial to create a compatibility layer with the previous test-framework or to find and replace, but that might not be the case.
