Instead you get issues with updating from Swift 1.x to 7.x.

The educational story of this sort is the transition between python 2 and 3... not ever done for some packages.

Swift is a new language, so it’s sure to have source breakage in the first few versions. The compiler is now backwards compatible, though.

So much this. When you're a small team, this sort of thing can basically mean having a product vs not.
