The main motivation is is that some fields make sense only for type synonyms and some make sense only for type families. This will be even more true with the upcoming injective type families. There is also some refactoring of names to keep the naming constistent. And thus tc_kind field has become tyConKind and tc_roles has become tcRoles. Both changes are not visible from the outside of TyCon module.
