This was already discussed when I noticed the the Generic instances
were missing.
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8797
Edward suggested that: "The Generic and Generic1 instances clearly
belong with their definitions. They also deserve Typeable and Data."
(...) "FWIW- The committee is in favor of adding the Generic,
Generic1, Data and Typeable instances along with Num for Sum and
Product."
But I guess part of that was lost in the discussion, and did not end
up on the patch. My understanding was that it was supposed to.
There also seemed to be a consensus in raising a new issue (that I
then forgot to raise :( ) to do this for all newtypes in base...
