I participate in the betas and even run a beta controller in production. This is complex stuff, and especially in EDU, we see things that no enterprise customer will even encounter – or test bed can simulate. For the most part, I’ve had no show-stopper issues going back to the post 5.2 days. That said, I keep a very open and direct dialog with the BU, and with something like the x800 series WAPs, my team did a lot of testing of the product to help get all the little bugs worked out.
