[ghc-steering-committee] GHC2024 committee deliberation

[Arnaud Spiwack]

We're currently proposing the inclusion of 12 extensions. Someone also
proposed BlockArguments in the thread, but it hasn't found a champion to
add it to the proposal (I won't be this champion, I find myself quite
unable to argue for or against it).

This'd bring us to 59 of the ~130 extensions. Almost halfway there!
(considering that some are deprecated or mere aliases, it's actually rather
better than it looks).

Maybe I should add QualifiedDo, too. I like QualifiedDo, and I don't
envision any change to it. Any thoughts on this one?
