I see:

"Portability. Good code is portable. In particular, try to ensure the 
code runs in Hugs and GHC, and on Windows and Linux."

I believe Hugs is dead and Mac OS is also an important platform, so 
apart from testing on multiple platforms (automatically by "validate"?)
I wonder what a good portability measure is. Maybe older versus most 
recent ghc versions, or as few extensions (that just ghc support) as 
possible (ideally none?).
