That’s part of the vote – just don’t say “strong yes” for any option if<br>
you think it’s too early. “Strong yes” means “I think there should be a<br>
GHC2023 because of extension X”.<br>
If a majority votes at most “weak yes” to every extension, then there<br>
will be no GHC2023.<br>
<br>
I find a separate vote “should we have GHC2023” is not that meaningful<br>
if it would be equal to GHC2021 anyways (assuming no extenion gets then<br>
voted in) so it seems prudent to ask “Is there even any extension that<br>
warrants having GHC2023.”<br>

I think the comparision is misleading. Rust bundles _breaking_ changes<br>
every 3 years. Nonbreaking, purely additive, syntax guarded, features<br>
come out continuously. If we follow their model, we can have GHC20xx<br>
yearly (or more often!), as long as we hold back _breaking_ changes to<br>
a three-yearly cadence. (Which seems quite a reasonably policy.)<br>
<br>
