Ugh more z-wave inclusion issues with new release?

So attempted to move some stuff over to my c7 today. Upgraded to today's release.

Then tried adding devices, One of which was my be469ZP z-plus lock. A couple of times I managed to get the security level system dialog up on pairing (which I didn't recognize and wanted a code but that's a whole other story). After I figured out my security code issue, I went to pair again (exclude, pair, etc) and no go, spent the better part of a day trying to get it done. Then I decided to try pairing a bunch of other z-wave stuff (all z-wave plus) and absolutely no go. It would recognize exclusions by not inclusions. I then for giggles removed one of my aeotec 6 repeaters from my c7, factory reset it and tried to add, no go. I then tried resetting the z-wave stack and readd. No go. I then said fugget and did a hard reset and started from scratch. Nope... nada. I then left it unplugged for 2 hours... Nope. Still can't add anything. Fortunately everything is running well on my c5,....

I would also not in my logs I see several error 77's and sucessful boot strapping. Device needs excluded and then included.

Followed by "z-wave busy" error. I got this everytime I tried to add the lock.

I also tried rolling back the os...no go.

Hopefully someone has an answer...

The 1st fix for continued zwave busy errors is to shutdown the hub gracefully and pull the power plug for 30-60 seconds, then reboot it.

However, if there is something in your config that is causing the radio to go crazy, it may happen again after reboot.

It even happened after a full hard reset and setup from scratch...

By "today's release" do you mean .142? I think there are issues on .142 (I know I had to go back to 141 to get my hub to work. Just thought I would mention that.

Yeah I tried rolling back as noted above... No go

Ditto here. I couldn't even get a simple Iris zigbee/z-wave plug to pair, nor a Ring Extender V2.
Who is validating these releases? I totally understand bugs, as I manage a huge electronic medication system with weekly updates, and if they did releases like this, that would never fly.
