Vlad, Joachim It'd be easy to miss this but Ben resubmitted the exceptions proposal #330 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/330to the committee 5 days ago. https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/330#issuecomment-1554668... Vlad: you are the shepherd: can you make a recommendation and guide us to a decision. FWIW, my personal view is that this long-running proposal has had a lot of scrutiny, and is widely awaited. Unless there are technical objections (which we should understand and evaluate) I think we should just get it done. But you are the shepherd!

Dear Committee,

we had some relatively quiet two weeks on this mailing list, but that quiet doesn’t really fit to the relatively long backlog. Let’s clear it out a bit, if we can!

What has happened since the last one update (March 16)?

* Arnaud continues the quest to understand the roles of Extensions.

* we were asked to review these proposals:

#579: Backward compat proposal section, Shepherd: Simon PJ #575: Deprecated instances, Shepherd: Moritz #585: Amend Or Patterns, Shepherd: Richard #493: SPECIALISE with expressions, Shepherd: Adam

* we have a recommendation from the shepherd about:

#536: Type-level literals as a separate language extension, rec: accept #579: Backward compat proposal section, rec: accept

* we have sent the following proposals back to revision

#330: Decorate exceptions with backtrace information, Shepherd: Vlad

* we decided about the following proposals

#540: parallelism semaphores, rec: accept

So we currently have to act on the following 8 proposals, up again by 2:

## Waiting for committee decision

#532: Clean up implicit binding, Shepherd: Arnaud 2022-08-23: Assigned to Arnaud Sent back for revision 2022-11-27: Resubmitted 2022-12-14: Arnaud recommends acceptance 2023-01-17: Arnaud picks up the conversation again. Silence since.

#512: NoFieldSelectors as datatype annotation, Shepherd: Vlad 2022-09-03: Assigned to Baldur 2022-10-02: Reassignd to Vlad 2022-11-30: Vlad recommends rejection Turned into a discussion of Modifiers, and then into silence. Where are we on this one?

#536: Type-level literals as a sep language extension, Shepherd: Vlad 2023-02-16 Assigned to Vlad 2023-03-06 Vlad recommends acceptance Some hesitancy in the committee to introduce this extension, the ongoing policy clarification process might guide us, but maybe we can resolve this earlier?

#579: Backward compat proposal section, Shepherd: Simon PJ 2023-03-30: Assigned to Simon 2023-03-30: Simon recommends acceptance Adam had a question that went unanswerd. Can we resolve this?

## Waiting for shepherd recommendation

#526: Applicative Comprehensions, Shepherd: Simon M 2022-10-08: Assigned to Simon M Simon, can you cast your recommendation?

#585: Amend Or Patterns, Shepherd: Richard 2023-04-11: Assigned to Richard

#575: Deprecated instances, Shepherd: Moritz 2023-04-06: Assigned to Moritz

#493: SPECIALISE with expressions, Shepherd: Adam 2023-05-17: Assigned to Adam

Cheers, Joachim
