I have always, by accident rather then by dint of planning, moved from N.1 or N.2 to N+1.1 so I have yet to experience a RH N.0 release. Are all of RH N.0 release typically accompanied by more problems then the N.1 or N.2 releases ? Is RH duplicating the problems automobile manufacturers have whenever they bring out a new car model? The more they change the more that is broken? I'm wondering because I was just considering a move from 7.2 to 8.0 when I started hearing about 8.0 probs and it seemed to a higher level of severity than I've heard before.
