Hello everyone,

Our road towards convergence continues! So far OTA-9.5 preparation is
still in progress but, because we're slowly seeing that the list of new
required changes is getting bigger and bigger, we're starting to
consider skipping this update in favour of OTA-10 - as 9.5 no longer
really seems like a 'hotfix' release anymore. Currently this is only an
option - we'll be able to plan this better next week. So don't consider
this as anything official.

In the meantime our overlay-ppa got a new powerd, fixing one of the
bigger crashers on errors.ubuntu.com [1] and a new mir+compositor
landing with improved logging for investigation of the annoying critical
bug encountered in OTA-9 [2]. The next rc-proposed image should have
both changes.

Another news item for all developers/landers using the CI Train: since
we were slightly low on silos recently, today Robert added 20 more PPAs
to the train changing the overall count to 81. This is of course
temporary until support for ephemeral PPAs is added to the CI Train, but
still - this should add some additional 'space' for development!

Also remember: OTA-10 landing gates are open. We have the snapshot-ppa
for any possible OTA-9.5 re-spins so feel free to submit your landings
for that milestone.

Have a great weekend!
