>From a Tiered Storage perspective, there is a long list of known bugs in 3.6.0 [1] but we shouldn't wait on fixing them all for 3.6.1. This should be ok since this feature is in early access. We will do a best-effort to merge some of the critical ones by next week. I will nudge the contributors where things are pending for a while.
