Ian, would you like to take ownership for this proposal, and start 
fleshing out the details in a wiki page?

There seems to be support for removing all the libraries in the report. 
  Whether the report also blesses either the Haskell Platform or a set 
of packages is a separate matter; either way, we still have to extract 
the existing libraries from the report, and there will be a set of 
changes to the report necessary to make that happen.  The Report should 
explicitly list all the library entities that it refers to.

Cheers,
	Simon
