A user posted the following to the ghc-proposals repository. Both JB and RAE suggested ghc-devs as a more appropriate forum. Since I have no idea whether the user has even ever used a mailing list before I thought I would lower the activation energy by posting their message for them.

Using real-world packages is one of the best > ways to see the actual impact users will experience. It's also a > great way to broaden the scope of tests, particularly with the > combination of language pragmas and enabled features within the > compiler. _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list [email protected] http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs
