My current uses of GADTs belong to the company I work for, so it would
be easier for me if *I* could check from time to time. Is the code
publicly available?

What I really care about at this moment is this: I've came up with an
interesting (IHMO) idea that doesn't work with current GADT
implementation. If it worked, it would really help me improve my code.
Here is a recent thread, in case you missed it:
