Thus, the question is: are there any transformers-specific features iteratee package needs, or can it just go with mtl?

I have successful build iteratee by replacing transformers with mtl in the .cabal file.

I suspect mtl to be more popular... And actual "popularity" can be measured.

Popularity is not the issue. The issue is that we are currently in a transition from using mtl to using transformers. See:

Are we?

Let's make a poll then!

transformers+1

FWIW, +1 transformers. I like being able to swap monads-fd and monads-tf. Michael
