I thought Chris was pretty clear as well; but what was said was: "Over the next year, the core team expects to ship two major releases of Swift: *Swift 3.x in Spring 2017* and *Swift 4 in Fall 2017*."
I'm know I'm being pedantic, but since 3.0 hasn't been released yet, it sounds like it should be one of the "two major releases". While I'd love to have Swift 3 for this year, I'm fine if it's slipping. Honestly, I'm not a fan of tying what are huge language changes to an arbitrary annual ship schedule anyway. All that said, I'm just looking for clarity one way or the other so that I can plan our app migration strategy over the near term. rob.
