I don't have bandwidth to look into details, but the split sounds good to me.
The caveat is this: if a user adds both filepath and os-string to their dependencies they may get compile error if using modules that exist in both, due to deprecation period. That can easily be fixed with PackageImports. But it isn't a breaking change, technically. In order to push people into using os-string, I'd prefer to not release the bytestring API in filepath. |

It also means: after the deprecation period, we'll have to do a major PVP bump to filepath, incurring some maintenance cost to stackage etc. |

The other options is to rename all module prefixes |

Since #202 introduces significant new API that really doesn't belong into filepath anymore, I want to split out the packages
This means GHC will need a new boot package
