-1 While I believe that "fileprivate is the one true private" and was opposed to how SE-0025 turned out, this doesn’t fix access control. It introduces language churn without a replacement solution during a time when source compatibility is very important. The cognitive retraining price was paid in Swift 3, and even if that was a mistake it doesn’t justify forcing everyone to pay it again, especially those who are now adopting a more stable and mature language compared to Swift 2. That price is better paid when there’s a replacement, e.g. some comprehensive redesign or submodules.
