[cisco-voip] Upgrading to 8.5(1) CUCM

[Scott Voll]

Typically 8.5.1 will go to the new version of 9.0 when it comes out.  But
Like Lelio said if you continue down the path..... 8.5.2, 8.5.4, 8.5.8 and
then 9.0 comes out you might have to wait for a 9.0.5 before you would be
able to upgrade.

Being 8.5 just came out in the past couple weeks...... are you sure you want
to jump so quick?
