So upgrade to at least 8.1 ! If you management are saying stay at `proven' 8.0 rather than 8.2, think again. It's well known that .0 releases can be problematic, which is I recall why 8.1 has extended support (even beyond 8.2), useful for those who don't want to keep upgrading. Yes, 9.0-RC2 is available for test for those wanting new features, not for you if you'r still on 8.0. One would expect less stability from 9.0-RC2 than 8.0. & no more from 9.0 than 8.0, so go for 8.1 or 8.2 then wait for 9.1 not 9.0.
