i always thought it was odd that package registries were under the purview of evolution in the first place, creating such a thing involves setting up and running a service, and that is as much an entrepreneurial pursuit as it is an engineering pursuit.
i am sure the swift team can do anything they set their hearts to, but founding and running a business seems quite incongruous with the typical work of designing a programming language. wouldn’t enabling shallow clones in SPM be a lot easier?
