Adopt vector-binary-instances as a core package

[Andrew Lelechenko]

Dear CLC members, 

Ben Gamari has asked CLC to adopt `vector-binary-instances` package (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector-binary-instances). `vector` itself is a core package under CLC governance, and `binary` is a GHC boot package, so ensuring that `vector-binary-instances` is well-maintained fits well into our role to keep core infrastructure in a good condition. The existing maintainers of `vector` agreed to pick up `vector-binary-instances` and maintain it in sync with `vector`, see https://github.com/haskell/vector/issues/442.

Let’s vote on adopting `vector-binary-instances` as a core package.

+1 from me.

Best regards,

Andrew

I’m tentatively +1. Do we have an expected maintenance burden? How often do we expect this to happen? will every GHC release break the package?

I don't see any objections especially if maintainers are willing to maintain another package.

Best regards,
Dmitrii

Expected burden is low, for quite a long time the maintenance was limited to bumping version bounds. 

Best regards,

Andrew

Thanks all, there are enough votes to approve. 

Ben, could you please transfer the package under github.com/haskell ?

Best regards,

Andrew
