Update causes changes to site [#2365169]

For the last week or so, we've been working on a new Panopoly based site. The site has a few vocabularies and we modified the default node:template layout. The modified node:template layout used 3 column 25/50/25 layout and had some visibility rules for certain content items inclusion in the template. All was fine on Friday. On Friday evening, I applied the Panopoly and Drupal updates using drush and following the instructions found here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2272177. After the update, there are 2 major issues with the site.

The vocabulary that one of the term reference fields references has changed. The field used to reference a vocabulary called Sector, now it references the empty default vocabulary Categories
The modified node:template is gone. The system is now using the default Bryant layout

I listed this as a bug since I followed the best directions I could find to perform the update.

If you followed the directions exactly, there is this part:

Afterwards, it's a really good idea to clear the cache and revert all Features (unless you have some Features overrides that you don't want to lose):
drush cc all
drush fra -y

It's the drush fra -y that is most likely responsible for reverting your changes to the default in Features. Unless you put your overrides into an override module (possibly using Features Override), your changes to anything that came from a Feature will be lost!

I'd recommend restoring from backup, then doing the update again but skipping the drush fra -y command. I'll update the documentation to put some more information/warnings around that command.
