Yes there's no reason that we actually have to *install* these packages too, but it seems silly not to, since we just built them. It would be more trouble to arrange that we didn't install them, I guess.
for me the problem is not that you include these packages - i like them all (except for ghc-library). the problem is that you don;t want to make guarantees that anything else will be available with *every* haskell installation.
What makes you think we don't want that? We (the GHC developers) are very supportive of the idea of having a consistent set of packages provided by default (whatever that means) across different compilers and platforms. Cheers, Simon
