This is how cabal works and has worked: the use of a language extension does not solve this

Yes, blame cabal for something that you refuse to give it any clue about. That cabal cannot read your mind is a terrible bug!

I'll repeat myself: 1) The proposed extension will live behind a pragma 2) cabal does not take language extensions into account when computing a build plan The only way to give cabal a clue about a used extension is to put a lower bound on base, but you specifically rejected that as ridiculous.
