While I’d rather see us burn TH outright to the ground, I’ve had some good discussions with Teo at ZuriHac as well and applaud his efforts to try to make the status quo at least somewhat better. I’m still afraid that any proliferation of TH is problematic, yet this is a pragmatic approach going into the right direction given the current situation. - moritz On Mon, Jun 23, 2025 at 10:39 PM Malte Ott via ghc-steering-committee < ghc-steering-committee@haskell.org> wrote:

I think it's reasonable and well thought out. I vote accept.

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:
[3]https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/696 [4] https://github.com/TeofilC/ghc-proposals/blob/wip/th-lift-and-qua siquote/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 [5]https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process
Cheers,
Adam
