(a) the fact that the code already uses several GHC extensions that will be in Haskell' and we would like to be closer to standard code (b) the expectation that at some point implementations will stop supporting H98 Is there not a general expectation when a new language standard comes out that people will migrate to it (perhaps over time)?
