Just to make sure I understand correctly, even though build numbers matched for monthly and targeted channels in September, the functionality does not match? I was under the impression that the targeted channel caught up to feature sets in the monthly channel at that point and then they were locked for testing until Semi-Annual comes out.

If there is truly a difference, then the build numbers need to be different to reflect it.

Just running into this as well. We finally got Modern Auth rolled out to our environment and were hoping to start with Focused Inbox in Outlook, only to find out now we have to wait an extra 3+ months, for no real reason?

Agree, something needs to be better with the build numbers to reflect what you have and what you dont have.
