Seems like in a while it would be reasonable to remove documentation on it, or mark/refer/remind about it as a former option for legacy GHC versions.

stack still doesn't support mixins:

So base-noprelude is the only option to use custom preludes "easier" with this build tool, even if it requires using older GHC versions (and some people may still use older GHCs).

I'm okay with adding a small documentation note to the README and src/Relude.hs saying that this approach works only for GHC ≤ 8.8.4. Feel free to do this if you feel like it 👌🏻

Ideally, someone else motivated enough could take take the maintenance of base-noprelude package and update it to all latest GHCs. But I personally don't have enough bandwidth for this.

base-noprelude warning, remvoe stray bullet point
dd764f5 
Moving a project to ``relude`` it took a while before I realised that base-noprelude was preventing cabal from building.  Until such time as base-noprelude is being actively maintained I think there should be a warning against its use. 

Also removed stay bullet point next to video.

maintenance of base-noprelude package

It doesn't seem sustainable for base-noprelude to be maintained outside of the GHC source code (where base lives).

Could we merge #435 or remove the doc section completely until a viable path for the library is found?

(I was setting up Stack with Relude today on GHC 9.4.6 and started setting up using this method before realising base-noprelude isn't maintained by GHC and hasn't had an update since 2018.)
