I have no authority but it sounds good to me! In particular it would allow me to make https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/3174 pass the CI. 2020年6月11日(木) 6:14 Ben Gamari :

Hi everyone,

At this point we are in the home stretch of the GHC 8.12 preparation phase. The merge queue has progressed a bit more slowly than I would have liked over the last few weeks but nevertheless I think we are converging.

Regardless, if you have a patch which you believe should go in to 8.12 and doesn't already bear the %8.12 GitLab milestone, please do let me know.

# Submodule policy

One matter that is currently holding us up is a few submodules which haven't yet had necessary patches merged upstream. As there hasn't yet been much motion on the part of maintainer, I propose that we temporarily relax our policy that GHC submodules refer to upstream commits. That is, we allow GHC to temporarily track a non-upstream branch, ensuring that the branch is merged upstream before the final GHC release.

Are there any objections to this policy relaxation? It will require a bit more care on our part, but I think it is a sensible compromise way to give upstream maintainers the time they need while ensuring that GHC isn't subject to unpredictable schedules.

Cheers,
