It hasn't been stated explicitly, but I would expect you're mostly correct.

The library portion of the standard is now under the purview of the
Core Libraries Committee (CLC) [1]. Therefore the current Haskell
Standard takes into account their work in addition to what you've
mentioned.

There's another thread on the mailing list about which extensions
deserve to be promoted to language features which might interest you,
but as far as I'm aware the assumed foundation is the 2010 report and
the work of the CLC.

Cheers,

Jose
