@Simon Marlow agreed. The choice of -experimental is too contentious in meaning. The proposal needs to be rewritten using a different flag name. The whole confusion seems to stem from the fact that "experimental" means vastly different things to different people. On Fri, 22 Mar 2024 at 23:05, Simon Marlow wrote:

I was asked to shepherd this proposal, but reading through it doesn't look like we're in a state to make a decision yet.

- The proposal itself still has some outstanding issues raised in the comment thread - It interacts and overlaps with "Fortified Language Editions", and it doesn't make a lot of sense (to me at least) to consider these proposals separately.

So for now I'm going to put this back in needs-revision

Cheers Simon

Dear Committee,

Moritz proposes to add a new flag, -experimental, to guard experimental features:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/617

https://github.com/angerman/ghc-proposals/blob/std-experimental/proposals/00...

I’d like to nominate Simon Marlow as the shepherd.

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

Cheers,

Adam
