That would make life so much simpler. It would give us a chance to
clean up some code, simplify the autoconf stuff, etc. Plus we could
switch to Data.Bytestring without having to do any wrapper stuff.
Any objections?
I object. I think it's far too soon to drop 6.4. I have two machines
which I build my own darcs (for testing unstable) on and both machines
have 6.4 for various reasons. On reason being that hs-plugins hasn't
been ported to 6.6 yet.
I agree with using Data.ByteString, but I don't think that requires us
to support only 6.6.
I have no objection to drooping 6.2, but it wouldn't hurt to ask on
darcs-user or by taking a poll of haskell-cafe to see if people still
use 6.2.
Some day 6.6 will be the oldest ghc we support and that will be nice
for this issue of fps :)
