don't feel able to serve, it's better to step down. But it's not very
onerous and it's probably just a question of getting this small task onto
your front burner!

<br>
let’s do another ~bi~trimonthly status update. There was an uptick in<br>
submissions recently, and our backlog is on the large side; it looks<br>
like almost everyone <br>
<br>
So what has happened since the last one?<br>
<br>
* Baldur has stepped down, Arnaud has renewed their term and Adam Gundy joined.<br>
Thanks all!<br>
<br>
* I started a discussion on whether we should have GHC2021. I sense some hesitation,<br>
but not enough yet to discourage me, so I stated to draft a proposal at<br>
<a href="https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/559" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/559</a><br>
and you are all invited to nominate those extensions you’d like to be on by<br>
default in the future.<br>

#270: Support pun-free code. Rec: accept<br>
#500: Add implicit import proposal, rec: reject<br>
#547: Remove kind constraints, Recommendation: accept<br>
#451: WARNING pragma with category, rec: accept<br>
<br>

<br>
(none)<br>
<br>
* we decided about the following proposals<br>
<br>
#517: Require implementors before proposal submission (reject)<br>
#516: Introduce `-Wincomplete-record-selectors (accept)<br>
#547: Remove kind constraints, Recommendation: accept<br>
