Don't know. Has anything broken?

12.0(15) is older than 12.0(7)T wrt features. First question - are you
using any 12.0T features which are not present in 12.0 mainline.

The sequence is roughly:

  11.x -> 12.0 mainline which is now in General Deployment
  New features introduced went in to 12.0T (technology train)
  12.0T has now become 12.1 mainline
  New features introduced after 12.0T are in 12.1T
  12.1T will very shortly become 12.2
  And very shortly there will be a 12.2T with more new features.

So, if you want an improvement over 12.0(7)T wrt bug fixes, you want to
look at the most recent 12.1 mainline image which is 12.1(6).

All on CCO: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/417/109.html

For those without CCO access, LD means "Limited Deployment" and fits in
between Early Deployment (ED) and General Deployment (GD).
