We should have multiple implementations before standardization.
Alternative implementations already exist for lots of extenstions, see

Why do I need to know about pragmas if it is already difficult to
learn the language?
Exactly. In an ideal world, where the language standard corresponds to
what people perceive as being standard, beginners shouldn't know or care

I think that there is more to take into account.
Haskell is growing as a language that people use to solve scientific and
business problems. It is starting to become more of a working language,
which is a very good thing of course. But this also

It would be nice for there to be a new standard so that many
features in GHC -- such as overloaded strings, rank n types,
MPTCs, c. -- were enabled by default without any pragmas.
I think this is one of these nice gains
