June was a bit of a rough month too -- we had the issues that spawned 
the out-of-cycle release at the top of the month, which started almost 
right after Beta 1, and then almost immediately into Beta 2 after 14.4. 
I know that consumed a lot of my cycles. At that point in time for the 
v15 release process I was primarily focused on monitoring open items at 
that point, so I missed the June comments.
