Tony,
What is the expected duration of the omega test period? I'm not asking
for you to predict the future, just your expectation.
Is this use of a test period something new? I don't remember seeing it
for recent past releases. Do you expect to do this sort of thing on
future released or is 10.3 "special"?
You've pointed out how to report problems with 10.3. Will there be any
attempt by cicso to solicit reports from users, even if they have not had
any problems, like their use of 10.3 features and/or performance
observations, the operating environment e.g. particular router model and
particular mix of IP, etc.? Are there any particular diagonistic/debug
settings that you would like to have in effect?
