This may be true, but like I mentioned during the IRC RFC discussion on third-party
components, it’s a case-by-case decision, and I think in this case, SwiftMailer is
a fairly reliable library and definitely much better than what we have implemented
now.

So, if we can have the swiftmailer repo added, this would be excellent. It
might get worse
otherwise, as after this shift, MW can 'only' send emails through swift. A
hard dependency,
as you quoted earlier.
