The rationale for removing packedstring is that is has been deprecated for some years now. It was only included in the platform because the template-haskell package still depended on it. The latest version of template-haskell no longer requires it.

But unless I'm confused, this HP release will use GHC 6.10.4, in which template-haskell does depend on packedstring. Thanks Ian
