classy-prelude-yesod not offereing much value over Import.hs #90

given that classy-prelude-yesod is just an import list, I would rather just put it in the scaffold in Import.hs. I have a couple issues with it as is:

adds an extra dependencies such as yesod-newsfeed
exports Sql stuff by default that not everyone needs

Once these are taken out there isn't much left.

What I would envision for classy-prelude-yesod is to change the type signatures of Yesod functions to work with more data structures via classy-prelude.

I'd still say we should leave the scaffolding as-is, since it's easier to update a library than the scaffolding.

Sorry, I should clarify. I have no objection in principle to the kinds of changes you're implying for the library.
