Hello,

Back in April, a proposal PR of mine 
<https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0079-upgrade-self-from-weak-to-strong.md>
 (SE-0079 
<https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0079-upgrade-self-from-weak-to-strong.md>)
 was merged into master that would make the following code legal when in a 
block where self is weak:

    guard let self = self else { return }

and:

    if let self = self {
        // ...code...

Since then, the proposal has been Awaiting Review.

Because it was a relatively minor and non-controversial change, I had assumed 
it would go through review somewhat quickly. Now we're getting to the cutoff 
for Swift 3 and I'm getting the sense that it will not be considered.

I'm sure I'm not the only proposal author who thinks it would be great to have 
a better sense of the selection criteria for review and some visibility into 
when a given proposal might come up for review.

I understand how busy the core team is, and therefore I don't mind waiting. But 
if, for example, there is a "review queue", I'm sure the community would 
benefit from knowing what's in the pipeline and what sort of proposals are of 
more immediate interest to the core team. At the very least, it would make the 
waiting easier.

What do you think?

And, while I have your attention, is there any chance this proposal can be 
considered in time for Swift 3? ;-)

Have a good weekend,
Evan
