By bringing gtk2hs into the platform, we would be giving the gtk2hs maintainers a helpful boost; they'd get more testing for one thing.
I think that should explicitly not be a reason to bring things into the platform.
*grin* absolutely :)
However, I don't think the platform should just swim around with its mouth open waiting for tasty packages to come along. Sometimes we need to make strategic decisions about what functionality is most important.
Agreed, and with this in mind perhaps packages should be conditionally accepted, with a defined set of improvements leading to automatic entry. This would allow the platform to drive priorities without dumping things into it half-done.
