The 3 release policy does not apply to all libraries maintained by the CLC. It applies to "basic libraries": https://prime.haskell.org/wiki/Libraries/3-Release-Policy The general notion is that it applies to things surrounding the prelude, base, and things perhaps adjacent to that. That is to say, more or less, things that would be defined in the libraries section of the Haskell Report: https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellpa2.html > The *Core Libraries* Committee (CLC) defines a "core library" as > > "Our definition of "core library" is a library that ships with GHC." > (See https://wiki.haskell.org/Library_submissions#The_Libraries) By that definition, "Cabal" might well be listed in the core libraries that are not maintained by the CLC on that page, and it is perhaps an oversight that it is not? I would ask them. -g _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
