NonDecreasing indentation and the removal of n+k patterns are the only accepted proposals I can see that might affect existing code. The former is already standard practice and the latter is unlikely to be that disruptive, as their use has been discouraged for some time. > but at least for > the packages that are in Hackage, the system helpfully > reports build failures, so we'll know where the breakages > are, and roughly what's left to be done. There's plenty of code out there that doesn't have the benefit of a vigilant user community ready to spring into action. For example, Credit Suisse has several tens of thousands of lines of code written by internal users who are not Haskell experts, and it would be rather hard to explain to them that they needed to go through it all and fix it.
