 - zensical -- admitted 2026-08-23 at version 0.0.57, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 3 - Alpha`, with no 1.0 target announced. Admitted as a challenger displacing mkdocs because the Documentation section was carrying a dying upstream: the Material for MkDocs team's announcement of 2025-11-05 put Material into maintenance mode for twelve months and called MkDocs itself unmaintained since 2024-08 and a supply chain risk. Re-check when 1.0 lands.
 - openviking -- admitted 2026-08-25 (PR #3302) at version 0.4.16, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 3 - Alpha`, with a README that said "OpenViking is still in its early stages". Admitted as a Data Layer challenger because the adoption is real: 459,446 downloads/month on pypistats (mirror-excluded) on 2026-08-24, and releases every few days. Re-check when 1.0 lands.
 - claude-agent-sdk -- kept 2026-10-01 in the AI and Agents audit at version 0.2.163, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 3 - Alpha`. Kept as a Vendor Agent SDKs obvious choice because the adoption is real: 30,033,689 downloads/month on ClickPy on 2026-10-01, up from 1.2M in March 2026 on pypistats. Re-check when 1.0 lands.
+- keras -- kept 2026-10-02 in the AI & ML audit as a Deep Learning Frameworks Second Tier challenger at version 3.15.1, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 4 - Beta`. Kept because Keras 3 is a production multi-backend API; the classifier lags the project.
+- stanza -- kept 2026-10-02 in the AI & ML audit as an NLP General challenger at version 1.15.0, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 4 - Beta`. Kept because it is Stanford NLP's official library with releases through 2026-10-01; the classifier lags the project.
+- kornia -- kept 2026-10-02 in the AI & ML audit as a Computer Vision General challenger at version 0.8.3, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 4 - Beta`. Kept on 2,181,803 downloads/month on pypistats; the classifier lags the project.
+- implicit -- kept 2026-10-02 in the AI & ML audit as a Recommender Systems obvious choice at version 0.7.3, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 4 - Beta`. Kept on 234,833 downloads/month on pypistats and cp314 wheels; the classifier lags the project.
+- statsforecast -- admitted 2026-10-02 in the AI & ML audit as a Time Series Forecasting obvious choice at version 2.1.1, PyPI classifier `Development Status :: 4 - Beta`. Admitted on 1,339,344 downloads/month on pypistats; the classifier lags the project.

 These entries sit past the 12-month activity requirement without an override. Each one is kept by editorial judgment: mature, stable, and no successor exists.
 
+- annoy -- kept 2026-10-02 in the AI & ML audit, last push 2025-10-29. Unlike the others it has a successor, Spotify's own Voyager (2023), but kept by maintainer decision on 911,913 downloads/month on pypistats.
