We have three 5508s and one 8510 in production. The 8510 went in
new over the summer, straight onto 8.0.100.0, and we upgraded the
5508s at the same time. 530 APs, generally around 8,000 concurrent
clients per day (up to 17,000 unique devices across the day).

Generally things have been good on 8. APs are more stable and
aren't changing txpower and channel anything like as much as in
7.6.

We're investigating an issue with our support provider and Cisco
about miscounting the number of APs on a controller, which seems
exacerbated by local mobility clients. If you've got local
mobility anchors disabled, it seems unlikely to hit. It's not a
massive issue, but can cause APs to reject clients if the
controller "thinks" there are already 200 clients. We've got a
workaround.

We had two 5508s reboot, one twice. Neither had had a cold
shutdown in months. The other 5508 (which was moved over the
summer so a cold reboot) hasn't rebooted, and neither has the
8510. They crashed and hit a watchdog timer, which reloaded them
after ~30 mins or so.

After submitting crash dumps, it was thought to be caused by a bug
in AVC - CSCuq97965. Having turned AVC off, we've not had a crash
since in about 3-4 weeks.

Apart from that, so far 8.0 seems generally fine.

Cheers,

Matthew
