[cisco-voip] Call for opinions; 6.1.3 or 6.1.4?

Wed Sep 2 08:35:35 EDT 2009

If I were specifically going for a particular fix and nothing else, i would
prefer the "minimal set" to try and minimize the risk of introducing a new
bug or problem. That said, if I had a problem and TAC told me I had to
upgrade to 6.1.4, I wouldn't be upset about it.. just wouldn't be my
preference. I would grouse about it later if I ran into a new bug ;)

As far as the original post, if it's a new install/upgrade from 4 or 5, I
would probably load 6.1.4. That said, we're on 6.1.3 right now and don't
plan on upgrading any further in that 6.x train, next upgrade will be 7.x
most likely for a time of day routing with unified mobility.

They're not built for individual customers like they used to be, but essentially, they are what service packs used to be. Granted they're not published for some reason.
