I'm tending towards (1), mainly because it provides a clean break
and is
likely to be the least confusing for users: they have one place to
go
looking for library documentation.
Sounds good to me.

Ian, would you like to take ownership for this proposal, and start
fleshing out the details in a wiki page?
There seems to be support for removing all the libraries in the
report. Whether the report also blesses either the Haskell Platform
or a set of packages is a separate matter; either way, we still have
to extract the existing libraries from the report, and there will be
a set of changes to the report necessary to make that happen. The
Report should explicitly list all the library entities that it
refers to.
I don't mind defining libraries separately, but not defining them at
all is problematic unless a core set of libraries isn't rigorously
defined somewhere else.
