Good to know. Thank you.

Not yet merged to GHC? Hmm, so we are supposed to release
a Cabal version that supports ListTuplePuns *before* it's
in the respective GHC branch and in the draft Release Notes?

If so, I'm sure there is a new process in place that ensures such
extensions (and GHC flags) are added to Cabal before Cabal
is expected to be released? And the Cabal team is informed
that this process has run its course and given a couple of weeks
for the actual release? Who is the contact person this time?
I'd love to learn whether we can proceed with 3.12.

I will mention the new GHC release in the next cabal team
meeting in a week and I hope we can expedite a quick
Cabal (and Cabal-syntax)-only 3.12.0 release after the contact
person gives us the green light.

Yes, let's please discuss:
