Health on master as of the last nightly run [4] is still the same.

Potential patches that rectify the situation (as in [1]) are bunched in
a patch [2] that Atin and myself have put through several regressions
(mux, normal and line coverage) and these have also not passed.

Till we rectify the situation we are locking down master branch commit
rights to the following people, Amar, Atin, Shyam, Vijay.

The intention is to stabilize master and not add more patches that my
destabilize it.

Test cases that are tracked as failures and need action are present here
[3].

@Nigel, request you to apply the commit rights change as you see this
mail and let the list know regarding the same as well.

Thanks,
Shyam
