-1 for this reason. A strong recommendation in the docs is enough. There are legitimate uses and the busy work involved in fixing the 10,000 uses is not with it. That's time that could be spent on more libraries.
What I currently do is most oftenly: Find packages for my task at hand at Hackage, watch the code, decide that fixing their issues needs longer than writing a new package from scratch and then do this. I think that improving code quality should also be a goal, not only increasing the amount of libraries regardless of their quality. Have you checked whether the found libraries can be still compiled, at all?
