I agree with Bulat. Having two different versions of 6.10.2 in circulation is bad. You could call it 6.10.2.1 if 6.10.3 is offensive.

We hope that someone at this weekend's will put up a binary distribution of 'time' for GHC 6.10.2.  If they don't, we'll re-roll the 6.10.2 bundle (on Windows only) including time again, so that you can re-download.

Simon, this solves only part of the problems, especially second variant. imagine 6.10.2 versions flying around with and without time package.

i think that most reliable way to solve it is to issue 6.10.3 ASAP with just one change - this package returned back. this means a lot of extra work for packagers but will greatly simplify further life for users
