Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.0.1 was released.
*	Python 2.x has been removed from HOSTTOOLS so OE-Core is python2 use
free.
*	Hash Equivalency has been enabled by default for poky using a local
server.
*	YP 3.1 M1 was due to be built but issues have been encountered in
the release builds, both with previously unseen hash equivalence issue and a
ptest performance regression on the autobuilders. Both issues are being
worked on but are further delaying a successful M1 build.
*	Intermittent build failures continue to hamper builds, particularly
combined with the above issues and as few people are available to attempt to
debug and resolve them.
*	Patch review and testing has run into new issues with a number of
regressions from upgrades causing instability. Most of these were isolated
pre-merge but not all.
*	The TSC is working on LTS plans, productive discussions have been
had and a new policy on handling this and stable releases should be
available in the coming weeks.
*	We are continuing to collect ideas for YP 3.1 in this document:
