From an interested observer's perspective, it seems like libraries@ is where good code goes to die, and I don't have the time, energy, or patience to endure it.
A standard library even if it is called "Hierarchical Libraries" or "Base" is a very different beast to a growing application or library starting ab ovo, though. Many of the changes proposed on Libraries are controversial, I haven't counted but I expect uncontroversial (and accepted) changes are the minority rather than the majority of proposals (successful recent changes I can see from my inbox seem to be adding applicative instances for ST where they were obviously missing or fleshing out some of the Control.Concurrent modules).
