The build settings that are proposed are tool specific. Things like deployment target are indeed tool neutral and are handled outside of tool specific build settings (see: [SE-0236: Package Manager Platform Deployment Settings](https://forums.swift.org/t/se-0236-package-manager-platform-deployment-settings/17992)). A more flexible syntax for conditionals is out-of-scope for this proposal and will be explored with a future proposal.
