Comment (by ekmett):
@dreixel:
A quick skim of my own projects reveals 100+ locations affected in a way
that makes them very awkward to patch around with CPP, as they affect
public APIs and I've currently agreed to maintain many of my packages back
to ghc 7.4 -- an agreement that will bump to 7.6 upon the release of 7.10,
etc.
So as a data point, deleting those 20 lines will cost me personally
several hundred lines worth of easily-screwed-up support work if it is
done as part of GHC 7.10.
