The other dirty little secret that is carefully being avoided here is the
battle between the folks for whom Haskell is a language research platform
and those who use it to get work done.  It's not entirely inaccurate to say
the former group would regard a fragmented module namespace as a good
thing, specifically because it discourages people from considering it to be
stable....
