Hello Mario et al.,

While you're reviewing AMP, please take a bit of time to also comment on the related new MonadPlus excise proposal at https://github.com/haskell/rfcs/pull/23

The proposal is very short so it should be an easy decision. Thank you. As I've explained already on the RFC, I refuse (i.e. to make this very clear: I'm exercising my veto) to accept the AMP change without also at least a commitment to MFP and MRP. And note that the committee was created with the explicit request from SPJ that it ought to be a consensus-based decision process rather than a democratic voting

To be clear: you would prefer the Report's status quo to AMP without MFP and MRP? Because that looks likely to be where we're headed unless we wait out GHC implementing both and see if everyone is resigned to that result.
