*YP 6.1 M2 is due for release

*There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
    We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
* There is a new meta-openjdk layer: https://github.com/amarula/meta-openjdk https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-patches/xBB4.1788187111192557019.ULaN@lists.yoctoproject.org/T/#u
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
* AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
* There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:

*Some invasive LICENSE changes have merged into master:
**We now require the LICENSE field to match SPDX identifiers.
**The build will issue warnings when this isn’t the case.
**Non SPDX licenses will need to be of the form LicenseRef-XXX
**CLOSED is no longer a valid value.
**‘WITH’ license exceptions are now supported
Big thanks to Joshua for getting us to the point where we can finally clean this up!
*We continue to work on the backlog of patches which has slightly reduced and we’re trying to catch up with AUH updates.
*Toolchain upgrades merged to glibc and bintuils with many other recipe version updates too.
*Rust is now using a shared work directory which reduces disk usage significantly.
*There have been further important fixes in pseudo which were included in the latest upgrade.
*The new uninative does not have i686 build host support. This will mean i686 build host support with uninative will no longer be possible out the box when that is merged to the LTS branches. It is unlikely anyone should be using that!
