well, all the goals are there (or are they not sufficiently well
explained)?

I also tried to compare the two approaches – the re-exporting
API-specifying packages and the actual split of base – by listing their
advantages (I skipped the disadvantages, these would just be the
negation of the other advantages list...) at
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SplitBase#Approaches

I don’t feel in the position to actually make a call here, or even to
cast a vote with confidence, but I’m happy to continue summarizing the
discussion until a consensus is found. If there is more discussion, that
is.

Greetings,
Joachim
