I am so confused. What's supposed to happen on the 15th reboot?
The IT guy quits and it's no longer their problem to fix
Probably triggers some auto-rollback mechanism I'd guess, to help escape boot loops? I'm just speculating.
Welp, Ars Technica has another theory:

Yep. That makes more sense. Thanks!
That's some high quality speculation
