What is bad, exactly, about the fact that people will code against those
packages?
Once again, people can code against those packages anyway by installing
them from hackage.
It's hard to imagine anyone who would restrain themselves to HP.

(Not that I want to argue much about this, just trying to understand your
concerns better.)

By the way, it is possible to hide those packages (in the sense of
ghc-pkg hide) by default. But first of all — what problem are we
solving?
