Two guys that IBM was paying to work on server-side Swift are stepping down from the server working group (presumably because IBM decided not to pay them to do that anymore).
I think these guys were best known for Kitura, the (previously) IBM-backed web app framework.
I don't do web apps in Swift "for realz" (I use TypeScript and tools like Angular and Koa.js for that kind of thing), but I do use Swift on Linux and have built some toy ones using both Kitura and Vapor.
My impression is that Vapor gained a lot more traction than Kitura did, so in some ways this might just be "the market choosing" and Kitura heading for the sunset.
