Just import Applicative from its own module, like we did before GHC 7.10.

AFAIU, the point of having PreludePreAMP would be facilitating
maintenance of code that works both on 7.10 and <= 7.8 without warnings.
 One would still need to know that for defining a Monad they need
Applicative.  That was the best practice for a long time, anyway.
