A comment on Swift 5.0 release process.

It's been two years since I last worked with Swift. I absolutely loved Swift as a language but abhorred these updates.

It was an absolute nightmare to get a project updated then spend hours and hours fixing stupid issues with dependencies.

That was dreadful, but it's not like that these days. The past year none of the updates broke anything in my code.

It was only bad for 1 to 2, and `UnsafePointer` stuff saw a bunch of changes in 2 to 3, but most app-makers aren't interacting with C libraries.

Every year since the first has been quick and easy.
