Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 4.0.2 is due to build this week however we want to fix one
bitbake logging regression first.
*	A fix has been merged for a logging regression found in bitbake
where the first message to the console during parsing would be shown but
subsequent ones would not. 
*	Fedora 36 is causing problems on the autobuilder since it drops
support for the scp protocol requiring sftp on target instead to exchange
files. Dropbear does not have sftp support. We need scp to perform several
of our image tests.

We can add sftp to both dropbear and openssh images however that then causes
dev-pkg conflicts since openssh and dropbear cannot be installed at the same
time but are pulled in by openssh-dev and dropbear-dev.

*	As such we're proposing to change -dev package dependencies to
become rrecommends instead of rdepends. This does radically change the
contents of some images but in a way which is much more correct.
*	There is a potential follow up change to change injected symlink
dependencies from rdepends to rrecommends as well, which reduces the delta
of "dev-pkg" featured images even more.
*	There are also problems in the cve-check selftests causing other
build failures.
*	Various npm fixes were merged, thanks Enrico.
*	There are problems with rust-cross-canadian, it has never worked
correctly for the full set of different targets cross-canadian might be set
to. Help to fix that would be much appreciated.
*	Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder
intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we're continuing to
see by searching for the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:

*	There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 4.1. See:

*	We'd welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the
list at:

ntainers.inc>
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/main
tainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core
mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to "Unassigned" soon to
help facilitate this.
