I too wish there was a long-term channel, since I too like more time after "stable" before upgrading production things... since sometime "stable" isn't quite stable.
But I suspect your #3 problem isn't going away, since they have changed some of the permissions scheme (i.e. some scripts need "policy" and/or "test" rights in recent releases), among other subtle changes that may require manual mitigation during upgrade.
Anyway, good work figuring out you needed to remove wireless package to downgrade - logical in hindsight - but not sure I'd figure that one out before giving up and using netinstall.

So whether they are "bugs" or security/other "fixes" may be a matter of opinion. So you may still want to get to the bottom of the root causes of script errors, since any actual security fixes would likely only go into a "stable" ... since, unfortunately, there isn't a long-term to use if there was a real security patch.This is why I was running 7.16 on the LtAP mini RB912R-2nD-LT, but I experienced some nasty bugs with the script execution (which kinda prouves my point 2), so I had to roll-back.
