We're also on 8.3.133 with 8540's and 3500,3600,3700,3800, and some 1810's. Things are pretty good and stable and have been for a while. I guess it must be time to start testing 8.5 in the lab and a few remote sites.

Now that we are testing the 1815w out, we've had to run 8.5.105.0 on a lone 5508 and I upgraded it to 8.5.110.0 just last night without issue.

With all of the bugs disabling several AP models, we have been holding off our code upgrade and wireless migration. I have a plan to move about half of our wireless APs off of a pair of WiSM2s to our new 8540's next week. We've had the 8540's up since the summer running on 8.4.100.0 seemingly without many issues. It's been pretty stable but there has only been about 80 APs on it for our Fall semester. That code release is now deferred and we've looked at going up to 8.5.110.0 which released just a few days ago. Release notes list the open caveats, and there are several that still impact the 3500/3600/3700 lines pretty hard. 8.6.101.0 released a day after, and its even more grim. Has anyone found anything stable? We have a pretty wide deployment of APs, but most of them are 3500/3600/3700s with a fleet of 702W/1810W in residences. We simply don't have the manpower to run around and console into APs that lose their marbles, and our time slot to move forward is narrowing by the day. And more importantly, I would like to sleep better over the holidays, like we all would I'm sure.
