Even better would be something like the ‘Haskell Platform’ i.e. a curated 
collection
of core packages that share the same ‘look&feel’ with the stdlib. Or something 
similar to the 
boost libraries in C++. Or even something like the javax libraries.

So the stdlib could stay fit, while we could still enjoy a collection of 
standard packages for common
functionality.
