I don't doubt there are. But we've only experienced one problem between 3.0.36-rt58 and 3.0.48-rt72. Indeed, it might be easier to evaluate the risk if all the changelogs were readily available. So far, however, we haven't discovered any other issues that give us any concerns.

We have specifically tested 3.0.36-rt58 for performance in our application. Moving to 3.0.48-rt72 poses risk about whether would still be able to meet our performance requirements. And with regard to stability, the only issue we've had since our earlier moved to 3.0.36-rt58 was the netfilter problem. We initially only saw the problem on PPP related interfaces, so we reverted to 3.0.3 (non-rt) for PPP related issues.
Now, if you think there are some issues that should raise eyebrows, or can point me to a list of changelogs, I'd be happy to evaluate them.
Thanks, Pete
