This would actually match the Clojure model, where there's "the stuff that's part of Clojure", "a set of recommended libraries", and "the library archive anyone can put stuff in". If the platform is going to undergo serious shrinkage, maybe the things that get pushed out - like the OpenGL stuff - should be considered for that middle category? Less rigorous testing, not bundled with the platform, but unlike all of hackage, an effort is made to insure that there's a repository where it builds on top of the "core platform"?<br></div></div></div></div>
