This would have been useful to me in the past, and I'm guessing others would find it useful, too. It seems like a package of standalone derived Show instances would require little maintenance (since you don't need to modify the instances for changes to datatypes, only for adding/removing them) yet provide a great benefit for newcomers to GHC, while not bloating GHC itself.
