Well discussion is all fine. The important thing will be if Swift core team which is all Apple employees (except Chris Lattner who left Apple recently and removing him would look petty) will simply accept community solution even if they don't think its right.

I don't know of examples if anything got in Swift just by force of community without core team approval. And it seems right thing to me whether Swift or Go or Rust.

One thing better in Swift is clear rejections of pitches if it is not right for swift which makes sense as communication is always better with everything Apple.

It's not about that though. Of course the core team should approve. It's when the core team only approves its own things, which often are designed decidedly not the way that the community wants, that's the problem.
