I'd like to add a higher-level concurrency API to the base package.

What's the advantage to putting this in base instead of a separate package? If it goes in base, it will make it more difficult to upgrade, and take longer for this module to be adopted at all. If possible, I'd opt for a standalone package.

I agree. This doesn't sound like it needs to be a package shipped with GHC, let alone in the base package. Thanks Ian
