I think that's the crucial point. If they do not at least include things like networking, multithreading and file system access from Foundation then server-side Swift will either not happen for a long time or it will be very fragmented.

Core Foundation is already open source and provides threads, networking, and file i/o.

It's in Apple's advantage for server-side Swift to take off, and do so quickly and robustly.
It also makes little sense (nor is in character) for Apple to agree to open source Swift and not take a leadership role in the effort.
One step at a time...
