Re: [ghc-steering-committee] GHC 20xx process

Thanks Alejandro and Joachim for pushing this forward! I also suggested a heavier process along the lines of (2) at some point, but after reading the proposal and Joachim's argument here, I feel comfortable with (1) as well. Also, I think @AntC2 made a good point about -fglasgow-exts on the PR [1]. For the initial round it would be useful to list the extensions enabled by -fglasgow-exts as a reference point.

In my message of 4 Nov, I asked for feedback within "a week or two". Let's set a deadline of the end of this week.

All: please respond before then, if you want to.

I don't think this is terribly controversial, so I'll take silence as assent.

All this assuming we adopt Alternative 1.
