One interesting feature on npmjs.com is that aside from package dependencies, it also lists dependent packages.
Might it be an idea to try something similar on Hackage?

Duplicate of #40

But http://packdeps.haskellers.com/reverse/aeson is usable. I think we could add a link to packdeps site for time being, until #40 (#551 unstalled?) is done properly?

Note: that packdeps lists reverse dependencies for the latest version of the package. I think that's not good enough for Hackage (it's good heurstic, but imprecise). Also it includes test-suites and benchmarks (and doesn't differentiate between them, i.e. doesn't list which component has the dependency - that's useful too)
