Where has Control.Concurrent.STM gone?
I cannot find it on

Split into an stm package, on hackage. :-)
Thanks for the info; I wonder if this is a good or a bad sign
regarding STM's future within Haskell? Is it so big and self-contained
to deserve its own external package, or is it so little used that it
does not belong to into the "standard" libraries?
You should think of the "standard" libraries as those that come with the
Haskell Platform, which includes stm.
The packages that come with GHC are now the bare essentials needed to
bootstrap GHC itself. We haven't changed our position on stm at all: it
continues to be fully supported, and there are no plans to change that.
Unfortunately the removal of stm from the set of packages that we
regularly build with GHC means that it isn't getting as much testing as
before, which is something we should fix. There are various plans afoot
to revamp our automatic build & testing infrastructure, and testing
external libraries should be a part of that.
Cheers,
Simon
