Ah, I see the confusion. The question is _not_ about “the next
GHC20xx”, but it is about “GHC2023”, i.e. what do we want to no. The
answer may well be “no extension is pressing enough to make a release
now”.

A year ago we concluded to

and now we have to decide if it’s going to be GHC2023 or later.

Maybe what I want to say is that by deciding whether we have GHC2023 or
not, we are (implicitly) setting a precedence for what could become a
regular cadence, should we not change our minds in the following years.

I’m also curious :-)
