It's been like that ever they set up the mailing list, what happened is that people with an abundance of time on their hands started drowning the swift team with shitty ideas. The swift team tried to resist but eventually the lunatics took charge of the asylum. Swift didn't start with a very elegant foundation because of all the ObjC baggage, but instead of simplifying the language as time goes on they have just kept adding crap to it.
