[Haskell-cafe] ghc-9.2.1 unboxed types compatibility

[Bruno Damour]

Well, maybe, but I have seen this in :

base16-bytestring
basement
streaming-commons
iproute
hashtables

So it seems quite widespread… especially as a number of common libraries depend on these (persistent for example)

BTW there are a number of patches in headhackage for these
