The one case I think Typeable should *always* be around for is creating new instances of Exception. The fact that AutoDeriveTypeable doesn't require Typeable in Prelude lessens my +1 a bit down to a +0.5, but I really want it to be easier for people to define their own exception types.
That's an argument for exporting Typeable from Control.Exception, since Prelude does not export Exception and friends.
For me the Typeable constraint of the Exception class is just an argument to not use implicit exceptions of IO, but instead use one of the various Exception monads with explicit exception types.
