<html><head></head><body>You want to change base. base release schedule is tied to GHC and is in fact part of its git tree: <a href="https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/tree/master/libraries/base">https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/tree/master/libraries/base</a><br><br>By providing a clear patch with reasoning and motivation, you're reducing the possibility of bikeshedding.<br><br>ML is for bikeshedding and getting a picture of community opinion. I believe your patch doesn't require any of that. If the GHC team/CLC thinks so, they'll let you know on your PR.<br><br>My experience even with patches to core libraries is also mixed. Last time I tried to provide something as simple as forM to Data.Set. It took 1 year to even get to an actual review. Then the patch was 90% done, but failed because of the remaining 10% that the maintainers weren't able to make clear to me.<br><br>IMO, these days it's hard to get contributors anyway. I personally merge PRs even if they're just 80% done and fix the rest myself.<br><br>I don't expect there to be issues with base though. GHC developers are responsive.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On July 1, 2021 6:58:24 AM UTC, Ignat Insarov <kindaro@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
