If and when base is split, then just include Data.List.Split with whatever package all the other List stuff gets put in. My point is, this module should live in the same package where the other list functions live.
I'm in favor of splitting base, but things should not be so broken up to the extreme of having a package just for left-pad. It is possible to find middle ground.
Ah in the context of splitting base this seems like a backward move. The solution must really be to have tooling that can pull in libraries with minimal friction.

... and then splitting 'base'? :-)
