Hopefully that means we are moving back to functionality over features for a 
few patches. That's certainly not been the case for newer WLC code trains

Typically I've monitored the release cycle on patches to determine how "bad" 
things were.

In the olden days, Cisco would release a patch when a fixed number of serious 
issues were resolved.  You could then track how many serious bugs were being 
fixed by the interval between patches.  Quicker patches means more issues with 
a higher severity.  If the intervals between patches went down, things were 
starting to stabilize.  So if you saw a patch two months in a row, it might be 
a "let's wait for the next one."

Not sure that will hold true, now that Cisco is saying that "all" releases will 
be stable-train moving forward for ISE.  I see it's been a while from 2.7 to 
2.7p1.  That could be a good sign.  Typically I would wait 2 months before 
upgrading to make sure there weren't repeated patches.  You see this even with 
some long-lived trains that have patches 8,9,10,11 all very close together.

ISE 2.7 is a stable release. Cisco released very few new features and instead 
focused a lot of bug fixes in 2.6 and 2.7.
