Key Status/Updates:

We’re now in feature freeze for 3.0 and working on bug fixing for final release
There are the following planned features which are still under consideration for 3.0:
- Systemd vs. sysvinit defaults (maybe for the poky alternative configuration tests)
- Removal of LSB and poky-lsb and replacement with alt config testing
- Final configuration of hash equivalency
The sstate hash equivalency continues to have challenges:
- we need to rework the client/server communication to scale to the autobuilder
- there are some bugs in the code the autobuilder continues to expose
- we have cases where its not 100% clear what the correct behaviour should be
- test cases are proving to be problematic to write in a maintainable way
Patch merging has been delayed due to vacations (RP and Ross) so the final feature patches aren’t resolved yet.
