Stability of Master (not looking good)

Stability of Master (not looking good)

[Saul Wold]

Folks,

Based on what I am seeing on both local builds and on the autobuilder, I 
have to recommend that we stop making changes to master until we can 
stabilize it.

We need to start getting the builds green so that we can know where we 
are going into the final days of M3 and have a build that works.

We are getting closer, but there are definitely still some problem 
areas, as example, the distro-testing which has very little change 
failed to build eglibc.

So, I recommend that we only make changes that directly address the 
failures we currently have until we can resolve the failures and then 
work to ensure that any new items pulled into master are well tested!

I know this will slow things down, but we need to get stability happening.

Thoughts?

Thanks everyone, things are now looking much better, we almost have 
green nightlies, basically 1 sanity test failure which maybe the time 
out issue.

I am working on testing the current set of changes that are queue, 
including the kernel/systemtap change, the X Update and a few others 
that have been requested in the last couple of days.  Once that testing 
is completed, RP or I will pull them into master.

Thanks to everyone for their help and understanding.
