OS 6 Downgrade Warnings?
I'm a bit confused by the downgrade warnings for recent OS 6 releases. Below are some samples from announcements in Firmware Release Notes forum, and from the official(?) Release Notes in the KB. ...
The last one is definitely cut and paste - I created it, using the 6.7.4 release as a model.
This "should not downgrade" stuff can create a lot of pain, so IMO this topic needs some attention. I'll try and get some clarity from development here (and can revise the forum notices after I get that).
The release notes are most likely incorrect. I say "most likely" to be safe, but downgrade was always a no-no with ReadyNAS.
It looks to me as a line that's simply not updated before posting the release notes. As far as I remember, I have highlighted it already, but it wasn't changed.
Well, as I said the 6.7.5 forum announcement was my doing, and I simply revised from the 6.7.4 text w/o much thought.
I've asked both Netgear development and product management to review. In my view, they should also at least describe the risk.
