However, if the package is included in the platform I would prefer
to have it converted to plain Haskell 98 first, which should not be
too hard.
IMO, such requests shouldn't be made on per-package basis.
Ok, I like to request this for the whole platform. :-)
There should be a policy regarding standard compliance of the platform
packages.
The status quo is that a large part of the platform is not Haskell2010,
and converting it to Haskell2010 does not seem feasible.
So the policy seems to be that the platform does not require the
packages to be H2010 (or H98, for that matter).
That's sad and if this is wanted by most users, then it should be called
GHC platform, not Haskell platform.
