# Motivation
Most of the server ecosystem follows the supported Swift versions from `swift-nio`. This means supporting the latest 3 Swift releases.
# Modification
This PR drops support for all Swift versions before 5.8.
# Result
This makes maintaining this repository easier and allows us to clean up some no longer needed stuff.
