Swift has its own standard library, so there wasn't much reason to do this. In particular, it would've made things slower to mix them until the implementation was very mature.

Also, this project's been going for a few years I think, since it's used for Swift on Linux.

That doesn't seem accurate:

"The Foundation package is an independent project in its early incubation stages."

"In the future, we will explore how to sunset the existing swift-corelibs-foundation and migrate to using the new version of Foundation created by this project."

swift-corelibs-foundation is what I meant, it contains a portable implementation of Foundation. Don't remember which parts were in Swift though.
