If base3-compat comes with GHC then syb must too.
So, it would still need to be a boot package. However, if base3-compat depended on the specific release version of syb (i.e. == instead of >=), then we could still install a newer version of the syb package with a different API and not break base3-compat, correct? Sean

The binary base3-compat will depend on a specific version of syb, so you can also install a newer version without breaking base3-compat, yes. Thanks Ian
