Please add points as you see fit, and maybe we can come up with a mitigation/change plan.
Closely related is the question of module names. 'transformers'+'monads-fd' are somehow an successor of 'mtl' and chose distinct package names, but there were module name clashes. They mostly hurted GHCi users, but this led to a lot of confusion, too. So the question is, if FGL gets a new name, should it also use different module names?
