We're at 9.7P12 now. I've got a day or two to decide whether to jump to 9.8P4, and stay there. Our AFF8020 apparently isn't qualified for 9.9RC1. I'm retiring in two weeks, and the crew I'm leaving behind (sorry, not sorry), doesn't have experience upgrading NetApps. They plan to leave it as is until they can decommission it in 6-12 months.

It seems like a good idea to move to 9.8P4 due to the openSSL bug fixes. Any horror stories about 9.8P4?
