Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 2.6.3 is out of QA and being readied for release.
*	This release which was 2.8 will now become 3.0.
*	The sstate has equivalency work has run into some challenges:

*	performance of the hash server is not able to scale to the
autibuilder's load
*	performance of runqueue has regressed even when not using the hash
equivalency code
*	bugfixes in master-next regress performance even further
*	there are bugs being triggered by the has equivalency code that need
investigation and resolution (along with test cases creating).

These issues are being worked on but we need to ensure correctness of the
new code first before the performance can be fixed

*	There were updates so some key components for bug fixes this week,
in particular pseudo.
*	General patch merging is happening and the queue is mostly clear and
flowing but it isn't happening as frequently as usual due to the hash
equivalency work.
