Now that the "time" package is in current, can I get rid of System.Time, or should I deprecate it in some way? -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

We should deprecate it for some time before removing it. Traditionally we deprecate modules for at least one major release of GHC before they are removed. Also, the existing code will still be required in order to provide the Haskell 98 Time library, which we don't intend to remove. Perhaps the existing System.Time implementation can move to the haskell98 package later. Cheers, Simon

imho, old package should be either emulated by new one or left for at least one version. or you prefer to force everyone switching to 6.6 immediately start to rewriting their old code using System.Time? :) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
