FYI, work by the student continues on the cabal parallel build patches and for the cabal ghci ones, they are still on my patch queue to merge. So I do expect eventually for both to turn up in your "successful" category.

Very incisive analysis, thanks for doing it. I thought your point about the importance of "library evangelism" (a la bytestring) was pretty interesting. Perhaps all the brilliant people writing interesting Haskell libraries are a bit too humble.
