|  a week later, we have
|  
|  862 votes
|  655 76.0% 🤩 Oh yes yes, please! I’m so eager to use that!
|  127 14.7% 🙂 Sounds good I guess? I won’t use it myself, but still a
|  good idea.
|  65   7.5% 🤷 Shrug, I woudn’t care.
|  15   1.7% 🤮 Please no, this is a horrible idea!
|  
|  I think that counts as a community mandate.
|  
|

|  process at

|  
|  Note in particular this line – that was the idea, wasn't it?
|  
|     When ghc is used without an explicit language choice, the latest
|     GHC20xx known to GHC is used. This applies in particular to uses of
|     ghci.
|  
|  
|  If no discussion arises, I’ll formally submit this soon. Is the usual
|  “looks like nobody complains so we have consensus” enough, or do we
|  want a proper vote on this? Note that this doesn't really set anything
|  in stone, and we can fine-tune the process as we go.
|  
|  Cheers,
|  Joachim
