Why is the bootstrap 4 course being retired?

Just got a pop-up that the Bootstrap 4 course (in which I just began today) is being retired in October.

I was just wondering why this is, and what it may be replaced with if anything.

Because an updated course is coming in October

Well not only is there an updated version coming in October. But a lot of the video uses Alpha BS4, while the notes are correct the flow of the video is off because a lot of the classes have been refined/changed. So it's just better to make a more updated video that flows better. Much easier to conceptualize something when the instructor is using the updated classes that BS4 currently uses in my opinion.

I was a bit surprised to see the BS4 course released at all, since even today BS4 still doesn't have a stable release. It's been a "moving target" and I believe other questions have indicated that some of the information is no longer correct.

I expect the course is being replaced with the Bootstrap 4 Basics Refresh next month to correct these issues, and hopefully nothing significant will change between now and the stable release.
