As far as findMin, toAscList works just as well, so fine, let's kill it. For findMax, toDescList, which I thought was patched in a year ago, still doesn't appear in the latest version of collections, so as far as I know there's no alternative for it.
The fact that a function can be written in terms of other things in the library is no excuse not to include it. If a program somewhere needs to find the smallest key in a map, then it should say so! findMin makes the intention of the programmer clear, while toAscList does not. Twan
