Indeed!  And believe me, we are grateful, both to you and other huge 
contributors.  GHC is a pretty big enterprise.

The intention is not to pile on pressure, but rather to share information. .  
No one is asking you to turn into superman/superwoman.   It’s just that are 
many people working together, so sharing info about what can and cannot get 
done by date X is helpful.  No more than that!

•         Richard: the ReturnTv stuff (branch wip/exp-types)
Yes. I just pushed a candidate patch that may well validate. I'll merge 
tomorrow (Wed) on success.



•         Richard: #11471 (levity)
This should hopefully be much easier than ExpTypes. Next Friday is a reasonable 
deadline.



•         Richard: documentation for TypeInType
Sure.



•         Geoff: #11487

Richard, also if you look at 
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-8.0.1 you can see “highest” 
priority tickets with you as owner, that are to do with TypeInType and 
TypeApplications.

There's a bunch here. Believe me -- I'm working as fast as I can to wrap up 
these bugs. Unfortunately, our release cycle overlaps with the critical time 
for the academic job market, so GHC is competing with my need to get a job. If 
anyone reading this wants to offer me a job, that could indeed have a tangible 
effect on how quickly I scoop up these bugs! :)

Richard


Thanks
Simon
