[Simon Peyton Jones]

OK. I expect to recommend acceptance, but I'm encouraging Richard to sharpen
up the proposal a bit first.

|  
|  This is a meta-proposal, aimed at refining our criteria when
|  evaluating proposals, and wants us to confirm that we take
|  compatibility with a future world where Haskell gains more dependently
|  typed features into account, and welcome changes that we would likely
|  reject if we did not expect to move towards that future.
|  (My rephrasing, please have a look at least at "Motivation" and
|  "Proposed Change Specification").
|  
|  We might need more of a Moderator than a Shepherd here... I propose that
|  Simon PJ leads us to a decision here. I know that Simon has a strong
|  opinion on this already and might not be a "neutral moderator". But
|  opinions are not a bad thing per se, and I think this questions
|  requires Chair-level involvement.
|  
|  
|  
|  Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in
