I think this is an excellent idea! So excellent, that we've already done it. :)

When I try to compile with GHC 9.6.2 (what I have lying around), GHC2021 is in effect.

Is there something different you were thinking of?

Thanks,
Richard

Dear GHC devs,

Year 2024 is upon us. GHC2021 was released 2 years ago, in GHC 9.2. I think it's time for the base language for GHC to be GHC2021.

What do we think?

PS: I don't actually know where the base language for GHC is specified. I couldn't find it with a cursory search
PPS: if someone makes an MR, bonus points for clearing up hundreds of lines of now-unnecessary extension on top of files.
