I am sorry, but I have had this discussion on this list too many times already. I don't care to discuss this topic again.
haskell-numeric-prelude and haskell-convertible-text are both out of date. I am willing to maintain both packages. Do do that, however, I need a TU to orphan them so that I can take over ownership. If that is not an option for some reason, then that's fine too. Do whatever you think is right.
Take care, Peter
+1. This topic is brought up here too many times. We should be glad that there still are people willing to maintain Haskell packages actively. Now the Arch Haskell has a monopoly for all haskell packages and frankly I don't see any advantage of it. In my opinion we should break the monopoly and allow the users to maintain Haskell packages too. It's reasonable to orphan packages which are out-of-date for a long time. Lukas
