org_block event is not unavailable but was appearing for GitHub Apps on GitHub Enterprise Server.
- GraphQL query responses sometimes returned unmatched node identifiers for
ProtectedBranch objects.
- The GitHub App credential used by GitHub Connect failed to refresh immediately after expiry.
- Using ghe-migrator or exporting from GitHub.com, an export would silently fail to export non-image attachments.

Known Issues
