[Joachim Breitner]

Dear Commmittteee,

Since the last status update, we
 * were asked to review these proposals:
     - visible dependent quantification
     - Deprecate STM invariant mechanism
     - add incomplete-uni-patterns and incomplete-record-updates to -Wall
     - Block arguments
 * accepted the following proposals:
     - underscores in literals
     - Block arguments
 * sent the following proposals back for further refinement
     - /none/
 * rejected the following proposals:
     - /none/
 * Had a discussion how to scale the committee process to “big”
   proposals like linear types.
