43,Should we allow compatible API additions to a library in a minor release of the platform?,dons,dcoutts,"http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2009-May/011605.html

The question is this:

        Should we allow compatible API additions to a library in a minor
        release of the platform?
        
        The choice is between allowing only bug fixes in minor releases,
        or also allowing new features that add APIs but do not change
        any existing APIs.
