<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">How many other CUCM releases have been pulled for deferral like this? Sincerely asking because I'm not aware of others. I was under the impression these things were getting better. At least I've got a pretty
slide that shows a logarithmic decline in customer found bugs per platform release 5->6->7->8->8.5->8.6. Perhaps the definition has changed rather than the problem?<br>
