See https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/process.md - you would need to make an official proposal and submit it as pull request. But given the reaction here, it's unlikely to get approved.
Also, the ObjC code without nullability is getting fairly rare - all Apple's frameworks are with nullability information (as far as I've checked) in macOS 10.12, iOS 10. Third party libraries should be updated to use nullability (and most libraries that are maintained already do). > On Jun 25, 2016, at 5:13 PM, Spromicky via swift-evolution > <[email protected]> wrote: > > So, its proposal is dead, or what we must to do to force it to > swift-evolution repo on GitHub? > >> Hello, everyone! >> >> I wanna propose to you to remove force unwrapping in fuction signature for >> swift code.
