The mass submits of Haskell into openSUSE:Factory are worrying. In the old days, if a CPAN package was missing, that was unfortunate, but easily fixable: make one. Automatically converted packages later started showing up in devel:languages:perl:CPAN-*. Obscure packages that no one ever cared about or even considered using for just a single minute never entered Factory, and all was great.
Submitting devel:languages:haskell (or devel:languages:perl:CPAN) unattended-ly is worrying. Except of course than CPAN is -not- submitted to Factory like haskell at all. I find it highly questionable to submit every possible bitrotten Hello World module on the planet that has ever been made. That is certainly what it feels like.
Just something to think about. Well we live (or most of us) in free countries, so feel free to worry about whatever you like ...
I do see benefits in having LTS Haskell in Factory (and Backports as well) - so big thanks to everybody involved.
