Encouraging people to use bleeding edge APIs just contributes to the already dicey problem of writing future and backwards compatible code in Haskell, in fact, writing to haskell 98 is the _only_ option at the moment with any ability to do so.
I was originally in favor of deprecating haskell98 but didn't care enough to voice an opinion. John's argument has convinced me otherwise, so +1 to keeping haskell98.
This would be compatible with the method "warn about packages that depend on both haskell98 and base".
That seems sensible to me.
