3850 stack / port limit?

[brian.kennedy]

So all the data sheets that I can find for 3850s state the stack limit is 4 switches.  However release notes IOS XE Release 3.3.0SE  state up to 9 switches can be added to a stack.  Does anyone know if that's limited to a port count, or can you truly have nine 48-port switches stacked together?

You can stack up to 9 48 port switches.

The four unit stack limit was per original/early IOS releases for the switch.  Cisco promised it would eventually be a nine unit stack limit, and that has been accomplished with the current/later IOS releases.
