Was the July 22 update an actual update or was it a rollback to pre bourban? Did anyone who started rank well with Bourbon (come out of the sandbox) stay ranking well post July 22?

On July 28th, were the people affected all completely removed or did some people see their rankings drop considerably?

My experience was my site came out with Bourban and then went back to the sandbox on July 22. It could have been a dup filter that hit me on the 22nd since I have several pages close in content that are computer generated. I also launched a site in early July with 1 link from my homepage that had similar topics and linking structure as my original site that could have hurt my site.

I'd like to hear from others what happened bringing these two updates together...
