1) it will be great to not include FPS into base until you will start
to implement such things. anyway, you can't change base between major
ghc releases and its the whole problem

2) i'm hardly imagine things that really need to be included in base
and use FPS. the whole problem, again, is difficulties with changes in
base which prevents its whole development. its much, much better to
implement new things in other libs which can be easily installed,
upgraded and don't suffer from ghc-version dependency. we should think
about removing things from base, not in the opposite direction
