Comment (by ekmett):
As a data point, disabling Typeable for polykinded code would actually
break production code for me in a ways I don't see how to fix.
Code out there just switched from manual deriving of these instances pre
7.8 for a few particular cases, to the derived ones for 7.8+, but if you
take away the derived instances and don't let folks write them by hand
that case falls into a gap, where there is now no way to get even back to
the 7.6 level of support.
