That's a feasible way to go, but keep in mind that the UAX31 changes are
being co-designed with and informed by the current discussion. There are a
bunch of things that have come up here that will allow UAX31 to side-step
some "might have happened" mistakes, so this discussion has been very
useful.

The Swift community can and should make its own decision about whether to
remain engaged. The risk of disengagement is that messy compatibility
issues will probably have to be faced later that we can easily head-off now.
