Projects Overview

Over the past few weeks, teams have done extraordinary work getting bugs resolved, triaging hard, andconsistently getting closer and closer to meeting our milestone exit criteria. Ask mode has helped in keeping thebuilds working, and we're ready to start group checkins, after the mass integration last week (Lab21, Lab22 andLab25 RI'ed in one day!). However, this is about a week and a half behind the original schedule.

Given our active bug count and incoming rates, it's become apparent that we are not ready to start our final testpass today (6/16). Therefore, our new M2 exit path is as follows:

M2 Fork: TBD (see below) Final test pass start: 6/30 (see below) Sign off: 7/11
