Hi Committee, in case you didn’t see it: The yearly “State of Haskell Survey” at https://haskellweekly.news/survey/2020.html traditionally asked for “Which language extensions would you like to be enabled by default”. In pro-active anticipation of our GHC2020 process, they have changed the survey to let the community vote in favor, against, or abstain each extension. This should be sufficient for us to gauge whether there is interest in an extension being on by default, and whether there is contention about it. Just as Simon Marlow, I see no point in doing a very similar poll shortly after, and would just use the data coming out of that for GHC2021 (assuming we do the GHC2021 thing). I’ll say so (“If there is a GHC2021 language set, then the committee will very likely take the outcome of this poll into account.”) publicly, to encourage the community to take part in the survey.
