Doesn't that very fact suggest that these libraries should /not/ be
grouped together?

And our office (of 2) continues to have a unanimously opposite view...

So if these libraries really don't belong together, as you admit, we
need to find alternative homes for them.  Here's one suggestion:

    Monad       ->  Data.Structures.Monad
    Exception   ->  System.Control.Exception
    Generics    ->  Type.Generics
    Dynamic     ->  Type.Dynamic
    Unique      ->  Data.Structures.Unique
    Concurrent  ->  System.Control.Concurrent
    Parallel    ->  System.Control.Parallel
