Steve, Thank you for your feedback. TAC has informed us that the critical issues we have encountered ( MDs crashing on 8.5.0.1 and an MD VRRP issue causing APs to move to their backup LMS on 8.5.0.4) should be fixed on 8.5.0.7. We are still reluctant to upgrade because AOS 8.5 has been very buggy. Without students on campus, I feel we won't experience issues with limited users.
