How are collections broken? Views are deprecated/set to be deprecated, I don't really use scala.io, I find java io sufficient for my needs, scala.xml is being split out in 2.11 and macros will let people use a third party implementation, scala.actors is also deprecated, having been replaced by Akka.

Paul has definitely found a lot of "bugs", he has certainly contributed a huge amount to the cleanliness of the code base, and has been a big pusher for removing certain levels of unsoundness in the type system, but if you were looking for bug-finders + fixers, Simon Ochsenreither is probably a better bet.

Just a quick question - if the views are set to be deprecated, what would be the way to do a (long) series of collection transformation without spawning multiple intermediate collections? So, essentially, equivalent of .view, transformations, .force?

You use an iterator, which has its own caveats, or you simply accept that chaining collection transformations is going to be ridiculously inefficient.
