Despite the fact that there are a few release criteria that are not
in the 'Done' state yet, I approve of releasing YP-2.6M4 on the
condition that the Docs and Web site criteria are taken care of
before release.

I have reviewed the open bugs. Several are resolved or will be soon and
the ones that remain appear to be either limited in impact such
as 12974/systemtap or are likely due to builder problems such
as 12991/webkitgtk on the build appliance.

Build time tests have crept up somewhat for the rootfs and eSDK
tests but not so dramatically that I would suggest blocking GA.
We haven't had anyone investigate the root cause yet AFAIK but
that can happen post-release and noted in the release notes.

The package update status is unknown due to the tracker being down
but in M3 we were at 81% done so we're still in a good albeit
unquantified state.

What are the plans for the Documentation checks and Wiki/Web
site update? That needs to be 'Done' but I expect it will
be taken care of in the coming days.
