Dear GHC Steering Committee
Proposal #601
https://github.com/david-christiansen/ghc-proposals/blob/extension-lifecycle...
says
We propose a categorization scheme for Haskell language extensions. This
scheme is simple, in that there are few categories that are described in
terms of the user-relevant aspects, and it is actionable, in that it
suggests concrete changes to the warning system of GHC that allow users to
express their own risk tolerance and get guidance as they upgrade their
compiler
I'm happy with this proposal: it seems simple, comprehensible, and
actionable.
The only question in my mind is whether it is worth the bother. I'd love
to hear from the practitioners on the committee.
But I propose that we accept it.

Dear Committee,
David Thrane Christiansen suggested to categorize extensions into Experimental, Mature, Deprecated and Legacy, and add warning flag to GHC that allow users to be warned about (or shouted at for) using such extensions, if they choose so.

Because of the meta-like aspect of this proposal, I’d like to assign this to Simon PJ.
Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process
Cheers, Joachim
