Posting this bit to the platform list only. I vote to include vector in the platform now, even if nothing at all is done yet to improve integration with Safe Haskell. This is a very important package and I commend the package authors and maintainers on their fantastic work.
However, I would request that at least the following be done: Add a prominent comment about the fact that the notions of "safe" and "unsafe" in this module are different from the use of those terms in Safe Haskell, and explain briefly. You might also want to suggest that the user add a Trustworthy pragma when using the vector package in a way that is SH-safe, and perhaps add a brief explanation of what kinds of usages of vector qualify (probably almost all usages in practice). Further discussion about what else, if anything, can and should be done about this impedance mismatch should be active and ongoing. But it should not affect inclusion in the platform in my opinion.
