You might wanna pull the break before the release.
Fwiw, reverting the new syntax at this point also has an effect on already officially released libraries such as http://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.5.5.1 which started using the new non-pragma annotation[1]; so this would require new hackage uploads (and maybe hackage-deprecations)... just saying...

Probably it is too late to row back. Even a pragma syntax {-# TYPE_ROLE id role ... role #-} generates a warning on older ghcs: file:1:1: Warning: Unrecognised pragma So that is not a fully smooth alternative to a new syntax---it also has an effect on old instances of the compiler. Though it is only a warning, which can be ignored like a deprecation warning. - -- Andreas Abel <>< Du bist der geliebte Mensch.
