I also think that the notion of default-language matters. For some reason people care greatly about which is the "real" Haskell. I really want ghci to use the latest and greatest language edition. I also would prefer it to be used when calling ghc on a quick test file. If deemed necessary we can throw a warning when we fallback to a default in that case. I think it is very important that we care about breakage for the sake of the ecosystem. But the ecosystem relies on Cabal to build packages so outside of that changes have another quality. Best Malte
