Yes, that would be necessary. Perhaps we could add a new module, Control.Monad.NoLists, to avoid importing them from Control.Monad, but I'm not optimistic anyone else will think that wise. On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 11:45 PM, Edward Kmett wrote:

I'd be a lot more keen on this proposal if it was suggesting just to also export them from Data.List, rather than move them. A lot of code imports them from their existing location, and this doesn't provide a clean upgrade path for users.

Specifically:

filterM, mapAndUnzipM (unless we can sensibly and efficiently generalize it from lists to arbitrary Functors or at least Traversables, which looks like it might be possible), zipWithM, zipWithM_, replicateM, replicateM_

These functions all have to do with monads, yes, but they're about using monads with lists. Some other types are perfectly capable of doing similar things with monads.
