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,

Sebastian

Dear Committee,

Teo Camarasu proposes to split out smaller, more coherent packages with
more stable interfaces from the template-haskell package:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/696
https://github.com/TeofilC/ghc-proposals/blob/wip/th-lift-and-quasiquote/proposals/0000-splitting-out-stable-interfaces-from-th.rst

I'd like to nominate Sebastian as the shepherd.

Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process

Cheers,

Adam
