Awesome! Thank you. I have been calling for something like that for [quite](https://forums.swift.org/t/core-team-to-form-language-workgroup/55455/33) [some](https://forums.swift.org/t/increasing-visibility-of-server-side-swift-platform-gaps/58814/2) time now. I sincerely hope that one of the effects of this group is to decrease the gaping gap in Foundation‘s feature parity.

In contrast to what many „Server-side-Swift“ people seem to think, Foundation is going to be relevant for cross-platform apps quite substantially and the semantics and feature gap is hurting a lot. Even more so when community contributions are actively discouraged by pretty much ignoring them. (That may be unfair and a bit harsh, but it‘s my perception when looking at the pull requests)
