I think Arnaud was talkin about ghc, i.e. compiler/, not about
everything (incl libraries/base e.g.).
I tried, the PoC is at
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/11743
I needed to do `NoPolyKinds` in few modules (could give kind signature
too, but NoPolyKinds were quicker).
Especially that hits hs-boot files.
By doing `default-language: GHC2021`, and going through modules with
BangPatterns (and removing that, and other GHC2021 extensions), the diff
stats are nice: 91 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 272 deletions(-)

On a whim tried enabling it by default but it failed first because
GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving is incompatible with safe haskell

I would welcome a patch doing this, but it's not a priority.
Especially since it doesn't seem to be as simple as changing
the base language and removing some pragmas.

Indeed. I didn't realise the ambiguity in my wording.
I'd like for GHC to be built, with Hadrian, using GHC2021 as the base
language.

I think Arnaud meant that compilations of GHC's codebase itself
should
use the GHC2021 setting.
