Unless `std` has been settled on, I think that `base` for `std` and `platform` for `core` are the most informative and most likely to not require explanation for new users. The reason I don't like `std` is that, AFAIK, the usual explanations for packages like `core` in other languages is: "a standard set of packages for building in the language" which of course would collide a bit with `std`.
Also, I do think this is important. I'm pretty sure if the early haskell guys renamed "Monad" to "Context" the language would have an order of magnitude more adoption.
