I don't think haskell-src-exts satisfies the stability requirements of the platform. E.g. there are a few breaking changes that'll probably go into the next release. Besides, the AST necessarily changes constantly due to the evolution of the language itself. OTOH, I've just had a look at http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/AddingPackages, and it doesn't mention stability at all. It's really up to the platform people to decide whether you want a Haskell parser in HP, and what the requirements for it should be. Just wanted to clarify that bit, so that it doesn't come as a surprise. > I'm the nominal (inactive-unless-prodded) maintainer of haskell-src.
