Now that -platform has been split up into smaller chunks, I'm thinking of deprecating the package and github repo. This will involve moving the git repo to the https://github.com/haskell-distributed-deprecated organisation. I'm not deleting it as there's pre-split work in progress I'll want to salvage later on.

Any objections or suggestions about this before I go ahead?

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Mathieu,

Ok thanks for the recommendation. I'll do that for the time being.

Cheers,
Tim

necessary. I would simply keep the package at its existing location,
not rename it, and just mark prominently that it is a deprecated
package (i.e. in the Github repo description line, on Hackage using
the proper mechanism for deprecation, and in the README.md that Github
shows).
