In the special case of adding Traversable and Foldable to Prelude, it worries me that it is about changing Prelude. I am more relaxed about changes to 'base'. However, since Prelude is part of the Haskell 98 and Haskell 2010 specification, I thought that changing Prelude could also be decided by the Haskell Prime committee.
