Okay, so one time? In band camp? David Empson <dempson@actrix.gen.nz> was all, like:

Crashes in 10.10.0, maybe, but one thing that appears to have been
solved with Mail.app in 10.10 is its occasional refusal to quit. That
is, the app is not crashed, but the quit menu item was disabled and you
could not quit the app (nor could you force quit it from the GUI). The
only solution was kill it from the command line, which might work or
might lead to an unstable Finder, or reboot.

It didn't happen often, but it happened in 10.5-10.9. I don't think I've
seen it a single time since 10.10 was released.

Nope, it's rock solid.

I no longer have any USB 3.0 drives directly connected to my computer,
which took care of all those sorts of issues. However, to be fair, I see
the same sorts of issues with USB 3.0 enclosures in Windows 7 and 10
(the same enclosure that tend to 'eject' on the Mac.

I did see this when I first hooked up my Drobo 5D, but it turned out I
forgot when you re-install OS X to a new drive, it always turns on
sleep. I always forget this. When the computer slept, the Drobo would
eject and then not reconnect when I came back to the computer. Since
wake-from-sleep is nearly instantaneous, I didn't realize for a day or
two the computer was sleeping.

I was surprised it wasn't released before Christmas, honestly. Very
surprised there was another seed instead.
