Re: PROPOSAL: Remove Control.OldException

igloo:

Hi all,

Proposal: Remove Control.OldException http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3381

We included Control.OldException in base to help people trying to remain compatible with both GHC 6.8 and GHC 6.10. However, my impression is that most (all?) people who wanted compatibility used the extensible-exceptions package instead.

I'd be very wary of this so early. Try building hackage and tell us what breaks when there is no OldException. -- Don
