So any idea what the effort of fixing it looks like? I mean, just because it wasn't tested in the last couple of releases doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't working. As Sudha mentioned, it wasn't tested only because of a lack of change that triggered the expected need to perform regression testing of that feature. I believe that this was an honest mistake, but we need to figure out what to do. I'm -1 on us saying "we'll drop Swift support". If necessary, I'd say that we need to roll back the object-store branch merge... I don't want to see that happen though. That's why I'm asking about effort to fix it. -chip
