Key Status/Updates:

*	We are now at feature freeze for YP 3.4
*	Rust was merged into core, it was touch and go whether we
could/would or not. Unfortunately there was an error found after merging
with cargo-native on centos7 hosts which we still need to resolve before
building M3.
*	Fixes for glibc 2.34 and pseudo were merged however this uses a
binary shim and isn't an ideal way to solve the issues. We need to find a
way to have active development on pseudo with investigation into possible
replacement approaches.
*	A kernel issue introduced in recent kernel module versioning changes
needs to resolved before we can build M3.
*	The glibc 2.34 upgrade caused issues with docker and the clone3
syscall returning EPERM instead of ENOSYS. We will likely have to add a
workaround to our glibc until released versions of docker have the upstream
fix.
*	Intermittent issues are ongoing and help is very much welcome on
these issues. You can see the list of failures we're continuing to see by
searching for the "AB-INT" tag in bugzilla:
<https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT>

Ways to contribute:

*	There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*	There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 3.4. See:
<https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.4_Unassigned_Enha
ncements.2FBugs>
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium.2B_3.4_Unassigned_Enhan
cements.2FBugs
*	We'd welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the
list at:
<http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/mai
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.
