According to http://packdeps.haskellers.com/reverse, test-framework has over 300 reverse dependencies (and tasty has 12). Given that ghc-7.8 will be out relatively soon, why break all of them?
I agree. Would it not make more sense to start maintaining test-framework as part of the haskell-pkg-janitors group [0] on github and uploading a new fixed version ASAP?
Bryan already uploaded a new version (3 versions, actually), which I presume he tested with ghc-HEAD. The maintainer is listed as libraries@. I agree that haskell-pkg-janitors would be more appropriate, but I'm not really sure what the protocol is at this point. Are there any objections to moving test-framework to haskell-pkg-janitors?
