Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.0.1 was released.
*	YP 3.1 M1 rc8 is in QA
*	YP 3.1 M1 took a record number of build attempts due to various
issues which only appeared during the rc builds.
*	Despite a successful rc8 build (which still had reproducible build
test failures) there are a number of concerns, particularly as there appears
to be very slow builds for some 'pathological' hashequiv scenarios. There
has been some progress over the weekend on identifying the causes of that
and partially addressing them.
*	There remains a growing set of intermittent autobuilder failures
which occur with varying frequencies. We're struggling to find anyone with
time/interest to resolve these and they are becoming problematic for
reviewing/testing patches and  triaging builds.
*	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:

*	Due to holidays in EU/US, the next status report will be sent in
early January (likely 7th). If there is anything critical to report this
will happen as needed.
