+Here is the first 2026 status report, with 45 entries.
+
+This is the first status report since we changed the schedule and started enforcing it.
+As you can see, we are indeed on schedule!
+It is being published within one month of the end of the quarter, as expected!
+
+It has a very high number of entries (for reference, 2025Q4 had 28) in spite of the fact that we waited much less.
+
+Have a nice read!
+
+Lorenzo Salvadore, on behalf of Status Team
