The community reported 741 commits to main, 287 contributors, 10 new committers, and 4 new moderators over the past year. The new roadmap centers on three pillars, Operator Experience, Scalability, and Sustainability (OSS), highlighting planned work such as expanded CEL support for non-ACL policies, lazy loading of mounts and namespaces for over-commitment scenarios, a KMIP server and PKCS#11 client for Transit-stored keys, new usage guides, and versioned documentation. Community members are invited to contribute by voting on GitHub issues, submitting design documents, or writing code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
