I've done a crude check to see how many latest-version packages on Hackage have .*hs files matching containing the string "Text.Printf":
It's still 599 packages that are probably affected by base losing its `Text.Printf` :-/
Maybe we could just deprecated Text.Printf for GHC 7.8, and remove in 7.10 (which may address the big base-split)
but how many of them depend on base < 4.7? All these will have to modify their build-depends line anyways, so changing it to "base == 4.7.*, printf == 1.0.*" does not seem to be too big of an issue.
