[Testing] Build 472 - testing

[Kim Quirk]

It looks like we may need/want to get the latest Marvell firmware and all
known flag day updates into the build on Monday (if possible). At some point
we just have to take the hit and ask everyone to upgrade, laptops and
servers.

As you mention, Dan, we need to do this in Cambridge first... so maybe this
should be in Monday's build. I know we have the Marvell firmware (or can get
it). Is there anything outstanding that we are still waiting on to have this
flag day?

Is there a reason NOT to do this as soon as possible?

Thanks,
Kim
