Shipping the BBP as planned.
Adding to GHC the ability to complain if a given re-export is the only way a symbol finds its way into scope that you use, and apply those flags to Control.Monad.mapM and a bunch of combinators in Data.List.*.
+1, for all reasons mentioned. It would be a slap in the face to all the hard work of the people who've adapted their packages to force *another* breaking change this late in the game. Regrettable as the situation is, it's just too late to change this so late in a release cycle, IMO. Having better mechanisms in place for future evolutions of "base" would obviously be very desirable. Regards,
