In favour.

Like others I can foresee there being a bit of pain for some developers, but I 
think it's worth it to be more explicit about what's going on, and to clean up 
a feature that's just for supporting a specific other language.

My main concern is on whether things could be made a bit easier; specifically I 
wonder whether we could introduce an option (to the compiler?) to trigger 
warnings anywhere there is a possible missing @objc attribute. Basically on any 
code that produces bridging headers this would give a warning anywhere that 
@objc would have been inferred in the past, but will no longer be. Of course 
this will generate a lot of warnings, but it'll be an easier way for developers 
to go through and make sure they didn't miss something. Xcode could offer this 
automatically during migration, and the developer can turn it off when they're 
done. Not perfect, but it may be a little extra help for those most affected?

I believe so, I think we need to cut down on anything that's too platform or 
legacy specific in favour of Swift being as clean and functional as possible 
with limited magic features.

Yes, as I believe it tidies up the language and removes something caters too 
much towards a specific, hopefully increasingly legacy, use-case.

Following discussion, quick re-read.
