Bwahahaha.  Sorry.  

No, *that* you need special magic dust advanced consulting for.

Nobody inside Cisco knows whether any IOS version is stable, or has all
the features you want (plus support for all the hardware you have) at the
same time.

(Just answering the question "which series of cat 2xxx switches are 
vulnerable to the recent L2 loop bug - CSCuu69332, CSCut92591?" was
near to impossible already, and that should have been fairly easy to 
figure out - "is it a software or hardware issue, which features does 
it relate to, these are included in <x>", but what we got was... not helpful)
