Hi David, Thanks for your reply., OK, I think I understand.
It then is a capacity problem, right? In effect, it means restricting people from bringing perhaps very valuable (not necessarily my contributions) and essential ideas forward, which could play a crucial role improving Swift. I think this is a very negative aspect. surely bouncing creative people away, dropping their efforts and interest here altogether. The question then remains, where / when / how can one bring topics that are taking a longer stretch and are not bound to a certain release of Swift, seemingly “outside” of this restriction under attention? if swift evolution is (currently? ) not open for new ideas/topics: I thought that was the primary purpose of Swift evolution?
