Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 2.7.3 rc1 is in QA with the report due next week.
*	YP 3.0.2 rc2 was rebuilt to remove a broken bash CVE patch, rc3 had
automated QA only and is now due for release.
*	We are now at the date for M3 which is feature freeze. We are not
yet in a position where we can build M3 as there are a number of open high
blocking bugs but patches will need to start tapering down to bug fix only.
More invasive or unplanned features will no longer be accepted.
*	We have a serious issue with hashequiv but a patch in progress for
that. There is also a usability issue raised with hashequiv and this can
only realistically be fixed in M4, it means changing the UI message handling
within bitbake.
*	We continue to see automated test failures with master, most are
long standing issues which we're struggling to resolve. A minority now have
had their causes narrowed down or are now reproducible at will which should
help but there is concern about the others.
*	Some recent changes like psplash systemd support have introduced a
race causing intermittent build failures. We had thought those resolved but
they reappeared after merging.
*	Alex Kanavin has quietly but very effectively been fixing ptest
failures and we now have only a very small number of non-toolchain tests
failing, thanks Alex!
*	We're collecting a list of companies, products and projects which
use the Yocto Project on the wiki:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Project_Users Please add any you know are
missing (or email Richard/Stephen who can add).
*	The triage team is worried about attendance at triage meetings and
the project is finding it hard to find people to help fix bugs. If anyone is
willing to work on bugs, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
