Key Status/Updates:

  *   Two issues have so far been identified in the M3 rc1 build. One is due to differences in build-appliance srcrev between the new and old buildbot autobuilder codebases. The second is an issue with the particular stable kernel version causing problems on 32bit IA which we believe is fixed in current master due to kernel version changes there.
  *   We continue to be blocked with morty on the glibc 2.27 and the sdk locale issues.  Armin has been looking into it.
  *   The pseudo issue with newer versions of coreutils as used in fedora27 continues to cause problems, but thanks to some work by several people we do look close to a solution.  The help from everyone is much appreciated.
  *   We are now well into the stabilization period and are seeing a number of good patches both to fix current issues and future proof the release, foreseeing potential problems with versions and heading those issues off.  Thanks to everyone helping with these.
  *   The codename for 2.6 (after sumo) will be ‘thud’.
  *   As a reminder, general recipe upgrades will not be merged during this period unless there is a pressing reason.  Those will be held for 2.6.


Planned upcoming dot releases:

YP 2.3.4 (Pyro) will be built after 2.5 M3
