Actually, I realised when revisiting the ticket that this is really only a change in the libraries, and we've taken the approach that library changes are handled by the library proposal process, and the standard will follow along in the next release.

Great, that's settled then.

It's probably best to just put an upper version constraint on the dependency on base of the haskell2010 package so that it won't depend on the new base package.

Well, haskell2010 comes with ghc, so it needs to use the version of base that GHC comes with. If we stopped shipping it and set dependencies such that it won't build with the new version of base, then no-one with the latest GHC would be able to use it. Thanks Ian
