Still need to reinstall everything on new Swift versions? #168

Open rex-remind101 opened 4 years ago

from docs:

linux doesn't support building with a statically linked version of Swift. This means when a new version of swift comes out the old installs won't work on linux. A stable ABI in Swift 5 will remove the need for this.

Swift 5 was released a whiles back. Is this still a requirement? What is left to fix here?

This should be fine for anyone migrating from Swift 5.0+ to anything higher. Can someone confirm on Linux?
