If only we did have [Rust-style (language) editions](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html) (as opposed to whatever [this](http://discourse.haskell.org/t/seeking-feedback-on-language-editions-proposal/8780) was supposed to be)…but we don’t. However I think the breakup of `base` is still going.
