The problem is that only one person gets to comment on the quality of a library, the author, who is about the least objective person.
by rolling certain libraries into a base distribution, i was implying that there would be more eyeballs focusing on making them feature-complete. furthermore, by closely associating these libraries into a base distribution, there will be a sense of urgency associated with closing major bugs.
If you look at the stability tag of ghc libraries you will see that a lot of them are marked as "provisional" (Network.URI for example) or "experimental" (Control.Monad.Trans). Although I would love to see some other standard libraries (MaybeT !), I think that current base should be solid first.
