I think most of us are of the opinion that it would be nice to see it get
some independent use and shake the bugs and infelicities out of it first;
being in the platform implies (correctly or not) a certain level of
interface stability and trust in functionality.
Is the time until the actual release enough? If not we can accept the
package now but not include it until the next release, at which point
any obvious bugs should be gone.
Simon, has the package seen any use (e.g. in one of your classes) yet?
The API is actually developed in my tutorial (which will become the
book) from first principles, starting from MVars and then moving to STM,
as a way to motivate and explain the underlying primitives. Basic
versions of the API are used in several of the examples, although I'm
not using the async package itself yet - the examples came first.
I don't see any reverse deps on async in Hackage yet. Perhaps I need to
write a blog post about it...
Cheers,
Simon
