A huge +1. I separate the implementation of all my types into extensions, and 
this practice resulted in me almost always having to use the fileprivate 
keyword. Personally, I also have never needed any further access controls than 
those available in Swift 2, even after writing Swift 3 code since its release.

Additionally, it’s a weird inconsistency that top-level “private” declarations 
are treated like fileprivate, so happy that this will fix that as well.

100%.

Yes. Simplifies the access control model by removing a fringe feature (in my 
opinion).

Private still doesn’t match the definition of other languages after this 
change, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

Followed the discussion, and read through the final proposal.
