Key Status/Updates:

*        The M1 issues proved tricky to debug and potentially meant there were widespread problems however once we understood the specifics, we decided the rc1 M1 build could be released as built since the issues were primarily limited to the QA systems with specific host dependencies installed. There are patches in master to address the problems.

*        M1 delivers some key improvements in multiconfig builds and tinfoil2 which should make memory resident bitbake more usable.

*        The patch backlog is being worked through but we continue to struggle trying to deal with the amount of breakage introduced by submitted patches. We're working on speeding up the turnaround time of tests like oe-selftest but this takes time.

*        We should have a build of the 2.2.1 release imminently which would go into QA when built.

*        M2 will be upon us sooner than we realize (two weeks!) and there are some key changes such as recipe specific sysroots and the oeqa framework rework pending with some potential for disruption. Wider testing of these patchsets as they're published would be appreciated. There remains a fundamental design issue with recipe specific sysroots which we've not been able to figure out a workaround for as yet.
