Maybe I'm missing something here, but how does specifying TypeHoles make GHC not compliant with Haskell 2010? Turning on TypeHoles should change only error messages. The set of programs that compile (and their meanings) should remain unchanged, by my understanding.
I'm mildly in favor of this change, but I agree that perhaps a conversation on the users list and/or waiting a cycle isn't a bad idea.

I propose to enable -XTypeHoles in GHC by default.
GHC supports strict Haskell 2010 by default, and enabling any extensions breaks that property. That's why we don't have any extensions on by default.
