I agree and usually wait until it's stable - whatever that may mean, lol! In fact, I usually stay back a level or two unless there is something broken or a feature I need. So, the question is, I'm at 5.8, they have 5.11. Was my jump to 5.x invalid and should I go back to 4.17? I have a very simple network and am not running anything special such as vpn, ospf, etc.
