It strikes me that separating packages that have a relationship to ghc always seems to introduce a maintenance burden. Even with the core relationships moved to ghc-base, this might be a problem.

Hi all,

I'm trying to establish consensus around the next stages of the
reinstallable base project.

It seems to me the next step is to move the `base` package out of the
GHC tree into a separate repo so it can be maintained like a normal
haskell package.

If you have an opinion then please leave your feedback on this email thread.

The issue is discussed here:
https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/375
and also on discourse
https://discourse.haskell.org/t/what-are-the-next-steps-for-reinstallable-base/13319

Cheers,

Matt
