Please review #579: Backward compat proposal section, Shepherd: Simon PJ

Dear Committee, Adam proposes adding a section on backward compatibility to the proposal template: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/579 Richard said that this, even although likely uncontroverisal, should have broad committee visibility, so I’m assigning this to Simon PJ (as the chair) to shepherd this. Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

Dear Steering Commitee

Asked for a few questions to be answered on Github. Other than that, this sounds absolutely a positive change to me. On Thu, 30 Mar 2023 at 10:58, Simon Peyton Jones < simon.peytonjones@gmail.com> wrote:

Arnaud, did your questions get resolved? Could you maybe update the proposal with a possible answer to your question? Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/

Thanks for reminding, Joachim. Let's get this done. Arnaud?

RE https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/579 (Back-compat words in proposal specification) No reply from Arnaud. I don't think it was a big deal anyway, and the proposal is no more than modifying our guidance. Let's declare it accepted. Joachim please merge.

Argl, sorry, I had missed these emails.
My questions haven't been resolved in that the document didn't change to
reflect the position. I suppose that the onus is doubly on me to make
things better here as it partly depends on the Extension policy.
