And `base` is now living in the GHC tree itself; it no longer has its own
repository which further complicates its status as a free-standing
package. This was a conscious decision as much of `base` is quite tied
to GHC. There have been various attempts to split base up into packages
of finer granularity ([1] being the latest, as far as I know);
unfortunately they have all run into various practical issues.
