[ghc-steering-committee] GHC Steering Committee Status

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Vlad, Joachim

It'd be easy to miss this but Ben resubmitted the exceptions proposal #330
<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/330>to the committee 5
days ago.
<https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/330#issuecomment-1554668243>

Vlad: you are the shepherd: can you make a recommendation and guide us to a
decision.

FWIW, my personal view is that this long-running proposal has had a lot of
scrutiny, and is widely awaited.  Unless there are technical objections
(which we should understand and evaluate) I think we should just get it
done.  But you are the shepherd!

Simon
