More than one person has posted previously about the flaws and

Still, when I was browsing the Haskell' wiki a few days ago, I
couldn't find any proposal to remove lazy I/O or move it into some
special System.IO.Lazy (or
System.IO.UnsafeEvilFunctionsThatSacrificeBabies) ...
Sacrificing babies is not a unique characteristic of lazy IO, of
course; it's true of any file IO on a non-versioning file system.
