Until, we finally realize that things need to be added in a common place 
where they get properly standardized, versionned and maintained (i.e. 
base or very close derivative), it's just going to get worse.

Very likely the anemic rate of improvement to the haskell core, which 
often the consequences of long winded bikeshedding discussions for the 
smallest feature, is not helping either.
