<br>
we had some relatively quiet two weeks on this mailing list, but that<br>
quiet doesn’t really fit to the relatively long backlog. Let’s clear it<br>
out a bit, if we can!<br>
<br>
What has happened since the last one update (March 16)?<br>
<br>
* Arnaud continues the quest to understand the roles of Extensions.<br>
<br>
* we were asked to review these proposals:<br>
<br>
#579: Backward compat proposal section, Shepherd: Simon PJ<br>
#575: Deprecated instances, Shepherd: Moritz<br>
#585: Amend Or Patterns, Shepherd: Richard<br>
#493: SPECIALISE with expressions, Shepherd: Adam<br>
<br>
* we have a recommendation from the shepherd about:<br>
<br>
#536: Type-level literals as a separate language extension, rec: accept<br>
#579: Backward compat proposal section, rec: accept<br>
<br>
* we have sent the following proposals back to revision<br>
<br>
#330: Decorate exceptions with backtrace information, Shepherd: Vlad<br>
<br>
* we decided about the following proposals<br>
<br>
#540: parallelism semaphores, rec: accept<br>
<br>
<br>
So we currently have to act on the following 8 proposals, up again by 2:<br>
<br>
## Waiting for committee decision<br>
<br>
#532: Clean up implicit binding, Shepherd: Arnaud <br>
2022-08-23: Assigned to Arnaud<br>
Sent back for revision<br>
2022-11-27: Resubmitted<br>
2022-12-14: Arnaud recommends acceptance<br>
2023-01-17: Arnaud picks up the conversation again.<br>
Silence since.<br>
<br>
#512: NoFieldSelectors as datatype annotation, Shepherd: Vlad<br>
2022-09-03: Assigned to Baldur<br>
2022-10-02: Reassignd to Vlad<br>
2022-11-30: Vlad recommends rejection<br>
Turned into a discussion of Modifiers, and then<br>
into silence. Where are we on this one?<br>
<br>
#536: Type-level literals as a sep language extension, Shepherd: Vlad<br>
2023-02-16 Assigned to Vlad<br>
2023-03-06 Vlad recommends acceptance<br>
Some hesitancy in the committee to introduce this extension,<br>
the ongoing policy clarification process might guide us, <br>
but maybe we can resolve this earlier?<br>
<br>
#579: Backward compat proposal section, Shepherd: Simon PJ<br>
2023-03-30: Assigned to Simon<br>
2023-03-30: Simon recommends acceptance<br>
Adam had a question that went unanswerd. Can we resolve this?<br>
<br>
## Waiting for shepherd recommendation<br>
<br>
#526: Applicative Comprehensions, Shepherd: Simon M<br>
2022-10-08: Assigned to Simon M<br>
Simon, can you cast your recommendation?<br>
<br>
#585: Amend Or Patterns, Shepherd: Richard<br>
2023-04-11: Assigned to Richard<br>
<br>
#575: Deprecated instances, Shepherd: Moritz<br>
2023-04-06: Assigned to Moritz<br>
<br>
#493: SPECIALISE with expressions, Shepherd: Adam<br>
2023-05-17: Assigned to Adam<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
