The longest and the most exhausting discussion for me personally is around the 'base' split and GHC internal modules.
It feels (to me personally) that the discussion is just circling around the same topics with no progress, and it's becoming too difficult to steer it 😞
The most controversial discussion is about adding types like Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, Word8, etc. to Prelude.
Many people want it but many also are tired.

@jonn Actually, one of the linked discussion is about dependent Haskell.
The implementation of one of the GHC proposals related to DH is currently blocked on the base split and GHC internal modules.
So if have suggestions on how to proceed and move forward efficiently, feel free to share your thoughts!
