Your follow-on remarks (appended below) about which implicit Prelude you get if you (say) import only `base-pure` are well-taken, but they apply equally to (B). Worth adding a section to the Wiki page to discuss this?
Sure, done, including stated opinions so far: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SplitBase#HandlingPrelude I also noticed an advantage of (P2) (No Prelude in any of the shim packages, but in a separate base-prelude package): It allows programmers to mix conveniently the shim packages with packages that provide a non-standard prelude (classy-prelude comes to my mind) without any use of NoImplicitPrelude. (Just stating that for completeness, my preference is still option (P4)+(I1), i.e. multiple partial Prelude modules which all automatically imported.)
