The draft of the 3 release policy has a very strict requirement for warnings, "without causing warnings even when compiled with -Wall". This causes breaking changes to be spread out over a number of years because of deprecation warnings. I propose that "-Wall" in this sentence be replaced with "-Wall -Wno-compat". As we are addressing an audience who wish to suppress a specific category of warnings, it seems reasonable to ask that they make this explicit. (I would also prefer for -Wcompat to be on by default, but that would be another discussion, if and only if this proposal is accepted.) -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/3-release-policy-and-Wno-compat-tp58232...
