1) None that I had.
 
2) yes....I tested backups to the clients both before and after the clients
were upgraded.  No problems
 
3) I don't do that.
 
4) As long as you go back before you run the 'nbpushdata' command you should
be fine.  I had to do this in the apst, and had no problems.  Just ran the
install for 5.1, after I installed 6.0.  Not sure what would happen after
you ran the 'nbpushdata' command?
 
5)I went from 5.9 to 10.  No issues.

(1)  Any caveats with policy and catalog conversion. 
(2)  Can a client upgrade coincide across the board or can be separated in
time 
(3)  What if any is the impact of this upgrade to the RMAN setup. 
(4)  Is there a suggested fall-back plan needed in case of major problems
with the upgrade. 
(5)  Any issues out migrating from 5.8 Solaris to Solaris 10.
