OK, I object to the proposed change. The time library is pretty core, and should continue to be buildable by compilers and interpreters other than GHC. This does not necessarily mean it must be strictly H'98 compliant, but that would be a good approximation of the common language.
What is that "good approximation"? These are the options: 1. time to require Haskell 98 + FFI + Rank2Types, include Data instances 2. time to require Haskell 98 + FFI + CPP, content depends on compiler 3. time to require Haskell 98 + FFI, a time-extras package with orphan Data instances -- Ashley Yakeley
