The current Havana recommendation includes some Swift APIs; however, I believe we should (and will ask the Board to) reconsider that based on feedback I have been getting.

I don't see distros doing omitting whole projects; however, more integrated products or services have already proven that they will be more selective.  IMHO, that's the market giving us critical feedback and we should be careful in over fencing the market.
