Thank you.
As I've explained already on the RFC, I refuse (i.e. to make this very clear: I'm exercising my veto) to accept the AMP change without also at least a commitment to MFP and MRP. And note that the committee was created with the explicit request from SPJ that it ought to be a consensus-based decision process rather than a democratic voting process -- and there isn't consensus in this matter as far as I'm concerned. The discussion started on the right foot with Richard rightly saying > The redundant functions (like return) are all well and good in an > implementation such as GHC, but I think they should be struck from the > Report.

Perhaps GHC can even deprecate return, but I don't have a problem > with just living with the infelicity. That's the ideal we should strive for and what I expected the discussion to follow-through but unfortunately it got lost along the way.
