I guess I'm +1 to both instances. I do agree with Henning that types like `Ratio Int16` are generally ill-advised, but that doesn't mean we should cripple Ratio. Rather it makes me question whether `Ratio a` itself makes sense, and perhaps we should monomorphize it to Integers. But that's a very different proposal.

I think an imminent release is, if anything, generally a reason for a
/longer/ discussion period, to reduce the chances of making a mistake in
haste. If a mistake makes it into a release, it's a lot harder to
correct.

Thanks
