Post-teleconference update

The 25 May 2005 teleconference reviewed the status of
the LSB 3.0 specification by reviewing the blocker bugs.
On the call were:

Mats Wichmann, Stew Benedict, Rajesh Banginwar,
Thorsten Kukuk, Andrew Josey, Gordon McFadden,
Nick Stoughton, Mike Perry, Nilesh Jain,
Elena Zannoni

Regrets from Stuart Anderson, Marvin Heffler

Several bugs were reclassified as "fix later" and
removed from the 3.0 block list; a few were
reassigned to 3.1; one was noted to actually be
a test bug only, not a spec bug.

The largest remaining risk area seems to be the
elf/dwarf bug area.  We'll re-evaluate on Friday.

Note that Monday is a holiday in the US; our
targeted release date remains Wednesday so we'll
use the specauth call for a final go/nogo decision.
