Assigning simple "--gen swift" to this one sounds good to me, given the
Swift 2.x situation and this beeing pure Swift implementation.
In general, though, removing is hard.
The most natural course of action would be to keep current one as an
generator switch like "swift:cocoa".
For completely replacement, we need ordinal considerations for any breaking
changes.
How hard it is to migrate existing users' code ?
It seems to me that anyone who extended library code (inheritance etc)
would be in a huge trouble.

> Key: THRIFT-3773
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3773
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Swift - Library
> Reporter: Thomas Bartelmess
> Assignee: Chris Simpson
>
> We already have the option to generate Swift code in the Cocoa compiler,
> however large parts of the (Objective-C) Cocoa Library still depend on Cocoa
> and Objective-C.
> It would be good to have a native Swift library that doesn't depend on the
> Cocoa libraries.
> Design goals:
> - Fully compatible with the code that is currently generated by the Cocoa
> compiler (both Objective-C and Swift).
> - Ability to run on Linux
> - Pure Swift, no Objective-C code.
> - No dependencies on closed source apple libraries
> - Keep the same interface, so that the library is compatible with the code
> the current cocoa compiler generates
> - Better server support that the current Objective-C library.
> - Follow the new Swift packaging format to be compatible with the Swift
> Package manager
