Compatibility with Haskell 98's Prelude?
Thanks I understand. What exactly is the future plan of the haskell98 and haskell2010 packages? I understand that the Haskell' Process[1] now only deals with the Haskell language and that the evolution of the core libraries is now the responsibility of the Library Submission Process[2]. Does this mean we stop making haskellYYYY packages? I think that would be a good thing. Since these packages block innovation in certain parts of base (for example: getting rid of some orphaned instances in Control.Monad.Instances or designing a new monad hierarchy).
