This turned out to be wise - unfortunately we didn't get the same advice.  We upgraded from 6.5.1 to 6.5.2A last week and we have multiple cases open with Symantec already.  I'm not quiet ready to call this a "brown paper bag" release but it's not far off.  Critical issues from destages not working (we have an EEB for this) to 6.5.1 snapshot clients not even working.  Another issue we had an EEB for in 6.5.1 was supposed to be fixed in 6.5.2 but we're seeing a similar issue again.  Solaris 10 master with Windows 2003 x64 and Solaris 10 media servers.

Right now we're struggling going forward rather than reverting.  I'm not sure which is going to be less painful in the long run.  And next week I'm scheduled to make a presentation to NBU Engineering... :-)

Sigh...
