https://discourse.haskell.org/t/analyzing-haskell-stability/10059/2
- Continuing to explore/gather data in more specifics
- In a couple of weeks: make concrete recommendations vs Stability Road Map
  - eg. data shows that simply categorising is very helpful; hence our work on #669
  - e.g. Prelude and base re-installable. But see Ben's comments on this
https://discourse.haskell.org/t/xmultilinestrings-merged/10087
- What is the stability categorization?
- https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/proposals/0601-extension-lifecycle-framework.md
- Action. Add a one-sentence amendment fo 601 to say "Any extension introduced b a GHC proposal is presumed Expermiental unless explicitly specified otherwise (in the proposal)"
What progress (if any) on an actual categorisation?
- ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#669, itself based on this discussion and spreadsheet
- Action: some minor edits arising from our conversation + encourage discussion.
