[Michael Stone]

Folks,

First, thanks are due to gdesmott, morgs, cscott, dwmw2, daf, walter,
wad, mstone, and Blaketh for contributing helpful updates to our U.1
bugs. If your name isn't on this list: shame on you! Update a bug!

Next, we're blocked on testing results for:

  Packages                         Bugs

Objections?
