+The [Yocto Project](https://www.yoctoproject.org/) is pleased to report that it's core metadata (OpenEmbedded-Core) is now reproducible for all recipes (100% coverage) after issues with newer languages such as Golang were resolved. This was announced in their recent [Year in Review](https://www.yoctoproject.org/2021-a-year-in-review/) publication. It is of particular interest for security updates so that systems can have specific components updated but reducing the risk of other unintended changes and making the sections of the system changing very clear for audit.
+
+The project is now also making heavy use of "equivalence" of build output to determine whether further items in builds need to be rebuilt or whether cached previously built items can be used. As mentioned in the article above, there are now public servers sharing this equivalence information. Reproducibility is key in making this possible and effective to reduce build times/costs/resource usage.
