Comment:

 Andreas,

 in commit 2e86f4 you removed `new` from GHC.Event's public interface,
 supposedly to workaround this bug. Later, in commit 8db9ad, you revert
 that change. Was that intentional?

 I'm also wondering about the functions `loop` and `shutdown`, which were
 exported in `base-4.6`, but aren't in `base-4.7` and higher. Was that
 intentional as well? In particular, I'm trying to figure out what to do
 about #5443, which uses all 3 of those functions.
