Comment (by tomekz):
Good point.
Perhaps we are exaggerating. What this bug can tell us is probably not
about the development model, but about how much GHC is used for critical,
continuously running systems. One would think that someone should already
encounter this. On the other hand, the bug won't manifest itself in a
threaded runtime, and such systems may tend to use it... In fact, the main
components of our system use the threaded RTS, and bug manifested itself
in a small program which is the command-line interface to the system.
