FWIW, I can't agree that this particular subject leads to huge discussion/battle
about all the access modifiers. It is just about 'private extension' inconsistency,
not more. And it seems like there no(?) opinions that current situation with private
extension has any sense. It really looks like a bug.
So, I'd like to ask, if it is possible, some note about the subject from core team. I
hope they can revisit their decision to not even discuss *this particular* confusing
case with private extension.

I agree, but after having originally raised the issue, members of the core team
clearly disagreed. Therefore, it's clear that this is going to have to go through
Swift Evolution or not be changed at all. And I also agree with the notion that
further discussions of access modifiers, which will most certainly lead to a rehash
of the whole sordid past, is unhealthy.
I guess that is the price to pay for stability… I personally am quite sad that Swift
reached that phase already.
But who knows — maybe after some years of collecting legacy, this might be discussed
again in a cleanup release of Swift.
Still, I think the current situation is a pity, as everyone seems to agree that we
ended up with a flawed solution for access control :-(
