Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Sorry, the claim that the behavior of existing programs would change is
 false—it would only cause some existing programs that currently compile to
 no longer compile, which I think is acceptable.

 Also, here's the [https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-
 devs/2017-March/013995.html ghc-devs mailing list] discussion on the
 matter.
