People who think that it will break lots of code should compile some popular<br>
packages and see for themselves. As for a better/no prelude, this has been<br>
talked about for years, but a wholesale replacement of the prelude hasn't<br>
happened yet and probably won't. Waiting for something that won't happen is<br>
no reason to block gradual improvement.<br>
