Key Status/Updates:

*	2.7.1 is cleared for release and will be announced shortly
*	2.6.3 has two remaining issues before it can be built
*	We have a new "newcomer" bug category which are bugs suited to
someone new to the project. These can be seen here:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs
*	General patch backlog and merging is running back to normal
*	Our numbers of patches in the metadata has been slowly decreasing
and I wanted to mention how much we appreciate anyone doing cleanup of
old/stale data. Over time it is making a significant difference!
*	There are ongoing discussions on a few key topics which are
summarised here for convenience. Please contribute if you have an interest
in these areas:

*	Running the testsuites for glibc/binutils/gcc
*	Moving lsb to its own layer
*	Removing poky-lsb in favour of some configuration fragments
*	Reproducibility
*	Minimising python2 dependencies
*	Configuration of init systems

*	Bitbake changes which change the way runqueue works quite radically
have merged. If people see errors with setscene or normal task execution
people do report them.
*	Runqueue change to optimise sstate usage/sharing in multiconfig
builds merged. Please report if its not working where you'd expect it to.
