Re: [Haskell-cafe] Definition of the Haskell standard library

Then, in effect, the "standard library" is all the X packages. I wonder if it'd help to have some descriptions such as those above (better worded), and use them? Cabal already has a "stability" indication, and that might serve, but we'd want to articulate much more clearly what it meant.

You need an external indicator, not an indicator from the package author. It might be interesting to transform the dependency graph of cabalized packaged at hackage into a ranking indicator. It's like the Google Pagerank: Same benefit, same illness.
