If you think so, please simply mark it as key. I do not thing that the threshold for a package to be marked a key (or should we say "root"?) needs to be high. It just needs to be a deliberate decision by someone. > In the long run there will be a pure haskell implementation (working on > it), but very likely this package may be useful for some time even > after that.
