+0. Meh.

Not really. The package manifest API has lots of serious deficiencies and this proposal shuffles a couple of names around. Not sure it’s really worth the hassle, to be honest. It’s certainly very far from a “redesign”!

> * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Sure, I suppose

> * If you have used other languages, libraries, or package managers with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

I’ve used other package managers. Again, it’s really neither here nor there.

> * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?

Read the prior discussion, and the proposal again.
