If that's the consensus then we need volunteers to maintain:

array
base
containers
directory
extensible-exceptions
haskell2010
haskell98
hpc
integer-gmp
mtl
old-locale
old-time
pretty
process
random
template-haskell
unix

(and probably a few more that are not in my GHC tree). Win32 is also not
actively maintained at the moment, AFAIK.


Thanks
