#3381: PROPOSAL: Remove Control.OldException
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: igloo | Owner:
Type: proposal | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Not GHC
Component: libraries/base | Version: 6.10.4
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
We included `Control.OldException` in base to help people trying to remain
compatible with both GHC 6.8 and GHC 6.10. However, my impression is that
most (all?) people who wanted compatibility used the `extensible-
exceptions` package instead.
I propose that we remove `Control.OldException` for GHC 6.12.
If anyone does want `Control.OldException`, then it could be provided by a
separate package.
Deadline: 2nd August (2 weeks).
