 Regrettably, this does break compatibility with any previously-defined custom  urgency hooks, since the UrgencyHook typeclass no longer exists.

How many configs in the Config Archive does this patch break?

Since the urgency hooks are now values, and not types, the old hook names (FocusHook, NoUrgencyHook, etc.) no longer exist. Thus, all the configurations specifying any such hook name now fail. Of the darcs XMonad configurations, six of ten will be broken. Which I'll admit is not great. However, none of these configurations have defined any custom UrgencyHook instances, so the changes required are fairly minor, in some cases just changing the capitalisation to reference value rather than type.
