The renaming of flatten to joined was a last-minute proposal, and it wasn't even implemented by someone of Swift's core team. I don't think it distracted the team much at all. Also, breaking changes such as this one were a lot easier to make in Swift 3 than in a later version.
If they're still making breaking changes like this, then why have they declared version 1? They should still be on version 0.x
"Official binaries for Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 15.10..." I am surprised they don't support the latest Ubuntu with official binaries?

Swift 4 is supposed to be source compatible with Swift 3, so no need to wait.
I don't want to have to ship apps containing the entire runtime. I'm waiting for the stable ABI. As well, I'm happy to let the keen early-adopters be the guinea pigs. Xcode 8 only came out today. If you have production apps, it's madness to upgrade on day one. I'll wait a few weeks/months for the remaining bugs to shake out. Don't get me wrong I'm very pro-Swift. But I'm also mindful of my time and sanity. Switching…

I've only recently gotten into iOS development and the state of XCode amazes me. It's awful. Frequent crashes, disappearing tests, syntax highlight shutting down... it really makes me wish there were an alternative.
