## Current affairs

Francesco: We are nearing the release. Been pairing with Mikołaj.
Brandon: We have no CI that catches wrong bounds on Hackage. See https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9835
Andreas: Our CI doesn't do good cache management: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9850
Rodrigo will work on https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9468
Kristen: Code reviews (import tree PR, etc)

## Review needed
<!--
We need to take a look at these PRs and help them move on.
Urgent, of various levels of importance
-->
* (fendor) [#9583](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9583) cabal v2-path
* (Francesco A.) [#9766](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9766) Add “Add default-language” suggestion. Uncontroversial.
* [Work-dir patch](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9718), Sam has addressed Fendor's and Andrea review.
* [SetupHooks patch](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9551), has been sitting ready for a while now

## Food for thought
<!--
We want to start the thinking process amongst ourselves
for things that will take time to unfold.
May be important, but not urgent
-->
* Is there anything we can do to maintain linear Git history? (Cf. [#9804 (comment)](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9804#issuecomment-2019858407))
* Kristen: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9578#issuecomment-2025034808
* cabal-install `time` bump (cf. [#9848 (comment)](https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/9848#issuecomment-2024058064))
