mapM /= traverse?

I was hoping that in GHC 7.10 we would make mapM = traverse for lists, but it appears this isn't the case: the Traversable instance for lists overrides mapM to be the manually-defined version in terms of foldr. Why is this? Fusion? Unfortunately since I want mapM = traverse (for Haxl) I'll need to continue to redefine it in our custom Prelude. Cheers, Simon
