getCFRunLoop now internal?

Some of my packages are erroring out on Linux with errors like that:

/home/mickey/Documents/late/CornucopiaCore/Sources/CornucopiaCore/Extensions/RunLoop/RunLoop+CFRunLoopSource.swift:11:33: error: 'getCFRunLoop' is inaccessible due to 'internal' protection level
 9 |     /// Add a `CFRunLoopSource` to this `RunLoop`.
10 |     func CC_addSource(_ source: CFRunLoopSource, mode: CFRunLoopMode = .commonModes) {
11 |         CFRunLoopAddSource(self.getCFRunLoop(), source, mode)
   |                                 `- error: 'getCFRunLoop' is inaccessible due to 'internal' protection level
12 |     }

Why is getCFRunLoop now internal instead of public? Is this documented anywhere? Any idea how I could work around this?

Looks like this has been reported already: source compatibility project Deferred fails with a compiler error · Issue #75498 · swiftlang/swift · GitHub

@Tony_Parker made the change from open to internal in #4927.

@mickeyl can we look more into why you need to use CFRunLoop directly instead of NSRunLoop? Is it the availability of CFRunLoopSource API?

@Tony_Parker Yes, that's correct. Apart from CFRunLoopAddSource and CFRunLoopRemoveSource, I'm using CFRunLoopWakeUp and CFRunLoopStop, which are not available through the RunLoop API.

As I've commented in source compatibility project Deferred fails with a compiler error · Issue #75498 · swiftlang/swift · GitHub, I don't see why this was changed. It's an undocumented API change, introduces a regression, and expands the difference between Foundation for Apple platforms and the rest of the world (which already is huge).
