Thank you for this writeup Simon.
At this stage I would lean towards stopping the deprecation with
option C (do nothing to resolve the name clash).
I would be interested to hear some counter-arguments however.
Cheers,
George

For two years there has been a plan ([1], [12]) to deprecate and eventually remove Data.Monoid.{First,Last} ([13]), in order to resolve the name conflict with Data.Semigroup.{First,Last} ([14]).
I find it sad, that in 2020 we still discuss removing things because of name clashes. In order to conform to the PVP we should import explicitly or with qualification anyway. If users depend on the Maybe-First in Monoid then I am happy with maintaining both Semigroup.First and Monoid.First. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libraries
