These are the ones assigned to me that are concerning for the release:

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11284 - seems to be mostly 
addressed

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10992 - worked on this 
today, I have a fix, just sorting out some minor details

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11300 - still not much 
clue what's going wrong with this one.

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11275 - looked into this a 
bit, not quite sure of the solution. I can fix it for the basic case where an 
error occurs on startup, but it's much harder for log messages that occur 
during running a task.

Cheers,
Paul
