Any one have any guesses on when R81.20 will be the new recommended version?   It would be interesting to see R81.20 recommended for management, R81.10 for gateways, not looking forward to rebuilding everything for R81.20 to resolve the misalignment.

I guess the recommendation will be to reformat completely rebuild with R81.20 because of this.   https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Management/Gaia-partition-misalignment/m-p/160677#M32878

@Daniel_Kavan ...good point. I also had customer ask me that recently, as they are very interested in upgrading their main fw cluster from R81.10 to R81.20, but I told them to wait, at least until its officially recommended by the vendor.

I believe the current ETA for R81.20 being recommend is End of June (subject to change, of course).

End of June sounds reasonable.
