fatal errors in the v7 “stable” versions (e.g. 7.11) required me to roll back
do tell more, what kind of fatal error?
The foul-up of the vlan-filtered bridge across multiple switch chips.
That broke my network because I make extensive use of VLANs and have both tagged and untagged ports on my RB4011.
The breakage was such that it was quite difficult to diagnose.
Upgrade when 6.x branch will be out of service (not anytime soon). “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.
v6 is already out of service for a long time. if you haven’t noticed, there are no upgrades for v6 except CVE / critical security fixes (rare)
That’s exactly what I mean. It will be out of service when there will no be security fixes.
