This is somewhat unrelated, but I hope by the time 2.6 is out, Motorola also fixes the CPS so XPR/MTR/DR/DGR repeater firmware upgrades go smoothly and stop crashing at various points during the upgrade process. This occurs on several different laptops on XPR and MTR boxes. My record is 14 attempts for a 8400 to upgrade.
I mention this because Capacity Max means more sites and more repeaters. That means more time is required to maintain the infrastructure. Time is money when you have to do a firmware upgrade 14x before it works properly.
It's got to be timing issues during the firmware upgrade batch job(s).
