I think it is.  To me, the *only* potential issue is performance, and
it's being worked on.

Don't forget the potential of some great benefits to both Darcs and
Haskell by having a little more collaboration between the two
communities.  Perhaps there are some Haskell language features that
could benefit Darcs.  And Darcs will make it easier for people to
contribute new code to Haskell.  Which, in the end, will also benefit
Darcs, too.

I just don't see a downside here.
