We are still waiting on the Gold Star for release 7.0.1. Hopefully that will come soon!

That's a good list @Massimo Baschieri . I would add that CDO can use Identity Policy but it needs to be configured first in FDM.

Also note that CDO is frequently updated as they follow an Agile development lifecycle. So be sure to check their What's New page for updates.

Marvin, I had serious issues with 7.0 at my customers (7.0.1 too). I was on the beta team for 7.0 and 7.1 and beat the hell out of them but the issues I had with 7.0 at my customers  were serious and I never saw that coming and never had those issues in beta testing

7.1 is superior to any previous code (6.6, 6.7, 7.0)

I recommend 7.1, the features are unparalleled to 7.0 even

7.1 on FTD has issues as well, like you cant create VTIs properly, unless you have 7.1 on FMC but still 7.0.x on FTD.

I would wait couple more weeks and upgrade to a stable release.
