Key Status/Updates:

·        We’re now into feature freeze for 2.3.

·        We need to decide which recently submitted items should be merged. Some major items In particular:

o   rpm v4/dnf to replace rpm v5/smart?

o   Merging go into OE-Core?

o   Separate out elderly GPLv2 into a separate layer?

o   Graphics stack vulkan changes?

o   Large queue of wic changes?

I am leaning towards trying to take these even if they do delay the M3 release slightly as we do have some time left in M4 to stabilize.

·        Unfortunately we continue to have stability issues in testing. There appear to be some intermittent failures which have crept into master and M3 merging will likely be delayed until those issues have been tracked down. They seem to affect sdk image size, breaking the 4GB limit and eSDKs stopping containing libxml2 under unknown circumstances, possibly amongst other issues.

·        YP 2.2.1 has been released
