Are you suggesting that released versions of base-bytes would be silently modified at each stdlib release to incoporate new functions? What is (in your idea) the process to follow when a new stdlib version is released with additional functions in Bytes?

In particular, it is very important to have that if you want to smoothly move base-bytes out of findlib as a separate package in the future.
