Every verdict, on the record
Every feature this publication has judged, in one table, with the date it transitioned and the issue it ran in. If a verdict is ever revised, this table will show the new one and link to the correction.
- Cleared
Use it now. Once it is safe everywhere, the fallback goes.
- Hold
Real, but not yet, and here is the specific reason.
- Skip
Works fine. Not worth your afternoon.

What isn’t here
Most features never get a verdict, and that is deliberate. Sixteen features passed the 30-month mark in June 2026, and issue 09 covers four of them. A feature with nothing for you to do about it does not earn a slot, so most of what transitions in a month never reaches this table.
