RE: Should I upgrade to WLC Version 8 in May
I also upgraded to 8.0.110.0 about a month ago and have had zero issues. I'm running 5508 WLC's with a mixture of 1142, 3502, 3602 and 3702 access points. About 600 AP's total.

RE: Should I upgrade to WLC Version 8 in May
I can only speak for myself, but I went ahead and upgraded to 8.0.115.0 about 10 days ago from 7.6.130 and so far, knock on wood, I have not seen any issues. We are running an 8510 (HA) with about 1150 APs (mixture of 702s, 1131s, 2700s, 3500s, and 1532s).

RE: Should I upgrade to WLC Version 8 in May
We've been running two 5508s with 8.0.110.0 for quite some time now. Controllers are the most stable that I've seen them in several versions.
