The Report will still define the Prelude, however.I'm tending towards (1), mainly because it provides a clean break and is likely to be the least confusing for users: they have one place to golooking for library documentation.instead, ghc bundled libs say it, replaced now by Haskell Platform libs. but these are de-facto standards, and i think that Report should supportit by defining the same set as standard de-jure
Perhaps the real answer is that the Report should bless the Haskell Platform - not any specific version of it. It occurs to me that the dependency might actually go the other way: a Haskell Platform release specifies which versions of the Haskell standard it complies with. (Including H98.)
