The problem with that proposal, and the reason it is sitting around in limbo is:
1) it is prescriptive of a process “Audit system C/Objective-C libraries...",
not a proposal for a set of specific changes.
2) swift-evolution isn’t the right place to propose changes for Foundation or
other APIs outside of the standard library.
It has been stuck in a crack for a long time, and has no hope of getting
unstuck. I think that at this point the right thing is to close it. Is that
ok with you?
