On a whim tried enabling it by default but it failed first
because GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving is incompatible with safe
haskell
and once I disabled GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving it failed with some
error about missmatched kinds.
I would welcome a patch doing this, but it's not a priority.
Especially since it doesn't seem to be as simple as changing
the base language and removing some pragmas.
Indeed. I didn't realise the ambiguity in my wording.
I'd like for GHC to be built, with Hadrian, using GHC2021 as the base language.

I think Arnaud meant that compilations of GHC's codebase itself should
use the GHC2021 setting.
