I know that CUBE is on the new blueprint. There have been leaps and bounds
in improvements in CUBE in 12.4(20)T, and I believe there's a fair chance
(especially when integrating with CUCM 7.x) that there's a good chance it
would be on the blueprint. Given - this is all speculation. The 12.4T
voice code has been improved very significantly since it's inception, and I
would guess they would use 12.4(15)T or higher. Maybe 12.4(9)T, but there
are a lot less features there.
Something to think about.
