Swift 3.0
To be available later this year
* [Winding Down the Swift 3 release - Chris Lattner](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.swift.evolution/17276)
* New “blue sky” proposals will be considered for post-3.0 development (~August)
* Generics features (among other dependencies) are preventing the previously-planned ABI stability
* ABI stability will come in a later release and is considered of “highest priority”
