Yes, you can take over wip-haskell-updates.

A single big commit is not a good idea, but you don’t really need it as
you’d merge the branch in one go, so Cuirass would not end up evaluating
any of the intermediate commits anyway.  It’s still good to have smaller
commits to better undo individual changes and more easily understand
related changes.
