Seriously though, what do you mean by "GHC-approved". I guess you mean distributed with GHC? I thought the major aim of the library infrastructure project was to reduce the library bloat of various distributions and to de-sync library releases from compiler releases.

But I dunno, is GHC-approval something library writers should aspire to? If so, how do I apply?

No, you shouldn't aspire to be "GHC-approved". We're not going to be including any significant new libraries with GHC in the future, the idea is that you get everything by installing packages (just like Perl & co.). Cheers, Simon
