*YP 6.1 M3 is in QA
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.  
*We have removed much of the github.com usage in bitbake-selftest which is improving autobuilder connectivity issues. Some references remain, see the link below.
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
*There is a possibility that openssl 4.0 is causing TLS issues in git connection requests in CI. Help/insight welcome.
* 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
*There is a vblank kernel warning message causing problems in CI with the 7.2 kernel.
* 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.
*Given the limited number of people working on bug fixing, the number of issues likely to be fixed in M4 is low and we are considering speeding up M4 by a few weeks, allowing more time for 6.2 M1 and for the release to be built by ELC in Prague.
* 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:
*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.
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
*Adrian has made significant improvements to the IDE integration with devtool which have now merged, thanks!

*There are issues which are in a position where others could now help:
**Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue - thanks for the work and fixes so far on this.

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.

*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!
