|  With Richard in support, that leaves Simon PJ opposed to explicit imports
|  [1]. So we have Richard opposed to implicit imports, Simon opposed to
|  explicit imports, and the rest of us (I believe) amenable to either.
|  
|  I think we have two options at this point: we can keep trying to achieve
|  consensus, or we can take a vote. Richard, Simon, since the two of you seem
|  to have the strongest opinions on the import question, do you think we can
|  reach a consensus here? I'm happy to set up a call if it would help to
|  discuss things live.

|  
|  I believe it should be off by default. The warning would interfere with
|  Prelude replacements (and the Prelude itself, should it adopt
|  ExportedDefaults), which I view as the biggest usecase for these extensions.
|  
|  Thanks!
