PROPOSAL: Remove Control.OldException
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).
