Maybe I am missing something but in both tracks - Beginner iOS Development and Intermediate iOS Development - it seems all videos are about Swift 3. And if there is a video about made during Swift 2 "era", it will be soon replaced/updated (I guess, but it would make sense)

I think everything in the iOS tracks regarding Swift 2 has been replaced with Swift 3. If there is anything Swift 2 around it is most likely outside a track and just in the library.

Swift 3.0 was released in September 2016. It would make sense to have replaced all of the Swift 2 videos since they are technically out of date.

FYI Swift 4 is releasing this fall but the compiler for swift 4 will come with a legacy swift 3.1 mode so that you don't have to jump to Swift 4 if you are not ready.
