Not that so much. I saw:

A message from Carter about lunch queues.
A new topic from Carter with a 5-word Subject line,
 not saying it was a proposal;
 saying something about some committee approving something;
 with a smiley;
 several more messages with smileys (a couple from you).
 
That doesn't seem to follow the process
in the link you sent.

Nothing saying this is a proposal.
Nothing explaining or motivating.
Now you're referring me back to a 2011 version of some
proposal.
It's hardly providing context.
To repeat: think about all the Haskellers reading this list.

So for anybody not at ICFP (I'm not)
what's going on?
Are you just a bunch of clowns joking around?
It doesn't seem to be April 1st.

This from you is relevant:

Whether or not everything under the FTP
were sensible changes (I think not),
the actual communication of what was to change was lousy,
and the consultation/decision process was rushed at the end.
There are still people grumbling about it.

You seem at risk of repeating that.
