Just a little bit.
On reflection, I can think of one group of Haskellers who might get a bit upset by such changes. If I'd written (or purchased) a text book which was now full of obsoleted code examples I wouldn't be very happy. But I guess it would be possible to do something too suit users of "old" and "new" Haskell with suitably chosen pragmas or compiler switches without too much difficulty.
