Bug#962778: O: libdispatch -- user space implementation of the Grand Central Dispatch API



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the libdispatch package, and recommend that it be
removed from the archive. There appears to be little interest in the
open source community towards adopting Grand Central Dispatch as a
concurrency mechanism. The upstream library has been rebranded as
"swift-corelibs-libdispatch" to reflect that libdispatch is mostly
used as a private library within the overall Swift language runtime. I
personally have no interest in the Swift language, and do not see very
much demand for it outside of MacOS and iOS development.
