I tend to agree with Erik. It is frustrating to be blocked in development on an external dependency, but in this situation I think making a public fork is more likely to hurt the broader haskell community. If this practice becomes widespread, our dependency graphs will become hopelessly fractured.
Until, we finally realize that things need to be added in a common place where they get properly standardized, versionned and maintained (i.e. base or very close derivative), it's just going to get worse. Very likely the anemic rate of improvement to the haskell core, which often the consequences of long winded bikeshedding discussions for the smallest feature, is not helping either. -- Vincent
