Comment (by ekmett):

 Currently it is demanded by the report and backwards compatibility.

 It is worth evaluating whether we can eliminate such re-exports from
 Control.Monad in the future, but such would require a good deal of
 community buy-in.

 I for one would support ultimately removing the redundant re-exports from
 Control.Monad and all over the `mtl` should such a thing be put to a poll
 / proposal. They were a repeated thorn in our side when we were trying to
 figure out if we even _could_ do something like offer alternate Preludes,
 etc.
