Au contraire - there a many people who want standards for Linux; just not the standard of someone else ;-)
Most likely, it's similar for every large project without a single authority, and Swift is no exception:
Many ideas on Evolution never turn into proposals just because there are so many people involved who often push and pull into opposite directions... if I learned anything here, than it is how extrem diverse the developer community is. Something you consider brilliant may seem like a terrible fault to someone else, and vice versa.
I bet if Swift wasn't started by an extremely small group, we would still be discussing if "let" is better than "const", and wether inheritance should be possible or banned.
