* Boot libraries are of several kinds:
- INDEPENDENT: Independently maintained (e.g. time, haskeline)
- COUPLED: Tightly coupled to GHC, but used by others (base)
- SPECIFIC: Totally specific to GHC (e.g. template-haskell, DPH)
Does syb fall under INDEPENDENT or COUPLED?
In any case, as the syb maintainer, I'd favor (1) too.
