Hello, I am the author/maintainer of the 'punycode' hackage package. After 4 months, I just found that punycode conversion already exists in the Data.Encoding.BootString package inside the 'encoding' package. I'd like to deprecate my package in favor of the 'encoding' package.
However, I would also like to solve the discoverability problem of people not knowing to look in the 'encoding' package when they're looking for the punycode algorithm. (I certainly didn't look there, and as a result, I re-implemented the algorithm). My initial thought is to keep my package in the hackage database, but put a big label on it saying "DEPRECATED: Use Data.Encoding.BootString instead." Is there a better way to make this algorithm discoverable? Thanks, Myles
