[ghc-steering-committee] Status

[Joachim Breitner]

Cheers everyone,

Since the last status update, we
 * were asked to review these proposals:
     - Int8#/Word8#
     - unlifted newtypes
     - plugin recompilation API
 * got a recommendation from shepherds about:
     - incomplete-uni-patterns (accept)
     - embrace Type in Type (recommendation is somewhat unclear)
     - Deprecate STM invariant (accept)
     - Unlifted newtypes  (accept)    
     - mutable constructor fields (accept)
     - plugin recompilation API (accept)
 * decided about the following proposals
     - Or patterns  (sent back for refinement)
     - Deprecate STM invariant (accept)
     - incomplete-uni-patterns (accept)

Good job, team!
