PROPOSAL: Remove Control.OldException

[Ian Lynagh]

Hi all,

Proposal:
    Remove Control.OldException
    http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3381

We included Control.OldException in base to help people trying to remain
compatible with both GHC 6.8 and GHC 6.10. However, my impression is
that most (all?) people who wanted compatibility used the
extensible-exceptions package instead.

I propose that we remove Control.OldException for GHC 6.12.

If anyone does want Control.OldException, then it could be provided by a
separate package.

Deadline: 2nd August (2 weeks).


Thanks
Ian
