I could unexpose everything besides Data.Time, I guess.

But that would still leave it orphaned.

I don't think so? One would not be able to import any type from time without also importing all its class instances.

It would avoid any possibility of clients defining conflicting instances of their own, but it would still be an orphan http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/separate-compilation... Visiting one extra module (if it could even be avoided) probably isn't so bad. Brandon.
