It’s my belief (though I’m only guessing) that there’s a master source of each 
document. Within that, there are conditional sections for which platform and 
which OS version the document can be formatted for — sort of like availability 
macros in code. The master document is always updated for the latest 
development environment (i.e. Xcode 7.1 in this case) and thus it’s preliminary 
*if it has any changes in the latest development environment cycle*. (If you 
search for documents on the developer web site, many class reference documents 
are marked Preliminary, but some aren’t.)

If I’m right, the upside is that you always get the latest and most correct 
document content, even if the documentation group has moved on to an upcoming 
Xcode/SDK release. The downside is that documents only go final if Xcode gets 
released with no new beta simultaneously, which doesn’t usually happen.
