It is hard to say, but it could definitely be either of those.  In any case, 
we’re moving more to a model that proposals need to have fairly strong 
community support before merging them.  This is because we’ve had a number of 
proposals getting rejected recently, ones that were “obviously” not going to 
happen.

That said, I specifically worded it that way so that you know it was my person 
feeling, not the measured opinion of the core team or anyone else.  My opinion 
is shaped by many things, including a significant amount of thinking about the 
shape of Swift as it is today, along with the tradeoffs involved in adding and 
removing things.  That said, the community sentiment and other core team member 
opinions frequently change my position on things, so it’s not some invariant - 
a well developed and very compelling argument is always important for a 
successful proposal.
