Well, if you use @hasufell’s AI-dependency-excluder, you won’t be able to use time at all.
It’s a scanner and at the moment it does nothing other than scanning. It doesn’t exclude anything and doesn’t generate blacklist constraints.
It also doesn’t detect the time repository as using an agent at the moment:
$ vibecode-scanner -v --details scan hackage time
Fetching time
{
"scannedAgents": [],
"scannedPkg": "time"
}
More on topic:
- I think it would be great if maintainers (especially core libraries) disclose their use of LLMs and how exactly they use it
- it would also be great to have an explicitly written down LLM contribution policy
- and lastly: if you feel overwhelmed with maintenance, you can also try to find co-maintainers or ask the CLC to assist in finding some
