I think the renaming proposed by Adam is uncontroversial and I will include
this revision when accepting the proposal.

detail on which the committee may have opinions as to bikeshed colour,
namely the module namespace to be used by the new packages. Teo proposes template-haskell-lift with module TemplateHaskell.Lift
template-haskell-quasiquote with module TemplateHaskell.Quasiquoter and I suggest slightly tweaking the latter to template-haskell-quasiquoter with module TemplateHaskell.QuasiQuoter for consistency with the QuasiQuoter type name. In both cases, the module name is in a new TemplateHaskell module
hierarchy, whereas the existing template-haskell package uses the
Language.Haskell.TH module hierarchy. I think a renaming is in order,
because it gives a clear distinction between the historic API of the old
template-haskell package and the cleaned up APIs of the new packages.
Personally I like the new names, but I wanted to check others are also
happy with them? Cheers, Adam On 23/06/2025 08:55, Sebastian Graf wrote: Dear Committee, With their proposal, Teo wants to reduce the maintenance cost for
packages (such as `containers`) that depend on `template-haskell` only
for comparatively stable APIs (`Lift`, quasiquoting), by carving out
separate packages for these stable APIs.
These so-called "type (A) clients" constitute a considerable share of
all clients of `template-haskell`. It is a well-written proposal
outlining a simple solution with a great cost/benefit ratio.
I recommend we accept it. Cheers,
