Hi.
We upgrade to 6.0.7 on July 25th and are generally satisfied with the results. Some points to consider:
- Our environment is clustered (RHEL4) and the upgrade script did not fully handle the details of the configuration. It took two tries...
- Backups! - or better yet snapshots. (see previous bullet point.)
- There are minor issues that users are encountering around usability. The 'typical' user is fine but be prepared for unusual challenges for people with unique requirements that have come to expect or depend on specific behaviour from v5.0.x.
- if you are a BES user, BES 6.0.7 seems to be an improvement (so far ;-)
Overall, it seems to be a stable release and it was worth getting the upgrade done over the summer for all the obvious reasons.

Subject: ZCS 6.0.7
Hello,
We're still attempting to get on ZCS 6 before the summer is over. We decided to hold off on 6.0.6 due to testing and some very helpful reponses from this mailing list. Has anyone had any better luck with 6.0.7 or does anybody think it would be worth waiting for 6.0.8?
