The GitHub repo of the #haskell basement and foundation packages was just archived, while it currently has 3764 indirect reverse dependencies including cryptonite, pandoc, and accelerate. I don't know why and I don't know what will happen now, but I am concerned.

The thing I'm concerned about is that there are still a lot of packages depending on it and there doesn't seem to be a fork yet. So, important fixes like making all these packages build on 32-bit platforms are now in limbo.

Also, I'm concerned that this goes unnoticed. Hackage does not currently show maintenance status very well, so people might think these packages are still suitable to use in new projects.
