      Directly probably not. Its more likely an implementation issue than a federation issue.

        I’d not be so confident given just how quickly the rollout happened. Remember, we’re talking only a matter of weeks. (I’m a little more comfortable with things especially with the frequency of updates this far - I’ve installed 2 today)
