*	We are now past M3 feature freeze. A number of key issues have been
addressed, thanks to everyone who contributed:

*	psplash systemd race issues fixed (Thanks Scott)
*	make mips issue root caused and glibc fix pulled in (Thanks
Victor/Khem)
*	ltp upgrade resolved (Thanks Petr)
*	util-linux update resolved (Thanks Pierre-Jean)
*	Uninative tumbleweed issue resolved (Thanks Michael)
*	libgpg-error upgrade (Thanks Alex)

*	There were many other fixes and upgrades, thanks all!
*	The remaining issues we need to look at addressing before we build
M3 are:

*	bind upgrade (needs libuv maintainer fix and resend from Armin)
*	coreutils ptest blocked on libmodule-build-perl reproducibility
issue
*	Locked signature selftest failure
*	SystemExit() intermittent selftest failure
*	pseudo sysroot high priority bug
*	gcc buildtools tarball solution for centos7 support

*	Recipe upgrades are now much less likely to be accepted unless there
is a pressing need, ideally these should be held until 3.1 is released and
development for 3.2 is started. We do not have a tracking branch for 3.2 as
we'd like to focus people on 3.1 right now.
*	Bug metrics are not good with a rise in WDD when typically it should
be falling for this point in a release cycle.
