+  <longdescription>
+    A virtual package which provides a base version of Swift to bootstrap
+    ">=dev-lang/swift-6*" with. Swift 6 and later require an earlier Swift
+    compiler to bootstrap with; "dev-lang/swift" can depend on earlier versions
+    of itself, but to avoid arbitrarily long dependency chains on a first
+    install of Swift on a new machine, this package vends a base version of
+    Swift that newer versions can BDEPEND on.

+# `dev-lang/swift` BDEPENDS on either this package or `dev-lang/swift` itself. When any version of `dev-lang/swift` is
+# installed, it will be preferred over this package; when no version of `dev-lang/swift` is installed, `emerge` will
+# fall back to installing this.
+#
+# Because `dev-lang/swift` is versioned by SLOT, any updates to newer versions of Swift will record the current version
+# in the @world set, leaving them around; this allows `swift-bootstrap` to eventually get cleaned up.
