A better plan would be to start depending on 'haskell2010' or 'haskell98' and get rid of explicit dependencies on 'base' altogether. Since those are standardized between compilers.

I admit that once in the past I have replaced all dependencies on 'haskell98' by dependencies on 'base' in order to consistently use modules from the hierarchical namespace.
