Dear GHC Steering Committee
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.
Simon
