We need to do this if we don’t want to screw up performance of Swift-only 
programs. There is no point forcing even small, simple Swift-only programs to 
operate in full Objective-C compatibility mode with a hard dependency on the 
full Objective-C Foundation. If you want speedy Swift, Foundation and Swift 
Standard Library need to be at the same level instead of having a one-way hard 
dependency.

This also affects the usefulness of Swift Package Manager, itself a Swift-only 
program. If we can minimize the dependency of Swift-onnly programs, we can 
actually migrate the build systems of even our own core libraries to Swift 
Package Manager, replacing gnustep-make.
