Sure, done, including stated opinions so far:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SplitBase#HandlingPrelude

I also noticed an advantage of (P2) (No Prelude in any of the shim
packages, but in a separate base-prelude package): It allows programmers
to mix conveniently the shim packages with packages that provide a
non-standard prelude (classy-prelude comes to my mind) without any use
of NoImplicitPrelude.

(Just stating that for completeness, my preference is still option
(P4)+(I1), i.e. multiple partial Prelude modules which all automatically
imported.)


Greetings,
Joachim
