I added my thoughts to the comment thread on github, but I agree that, as is, this is not worth the trouble. On Tue, Jul 21, 2020 at 9:37 AM Simon Peyton Jones via ghc-steering-committee wrote:

Dear Committee

This is a tiny proposal, just about the default setting of -XBangPatterns. My instinct is that it's just not worth making a tiny change like this, but I'd love to know what you think.

Do respond on the main PR https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/343 as Iavor has already done
