 ===== Product versions
 
-// TODO(UNVERIFIED - stop-gap from GitHub): the list below is derived only from the docker-images "Update major/minor versions" issues that carry a release-note label (Airflow, Druid, NiFi, OpenSearch, Superset, ZooKeeper).
-// The other products (HBase, Hadoop, Hive, Kafka, Spark, OPA, Trino, Vector) are NOT yet captured here because their version issues are not labelled.
-// RECONCILE the complete set against a portal.stackable.build screenshot (source of truth; hub.stackable.tech later) before publishing.
+// Reconciled against portal.stackable.build (source of truth) by diffing the 26.3 and 26.7 exports.
+// Added = in 26.7 not in 26.3; Removed = in 26.3 not in 26.7; statuses (LTS/experimental/deprecated) from the 26.7 export.
+// Overrides where the portal was wrong:
+//  - Spark 4.1.2 appears in the 26.3 portal export by mistake (it was not in 26.3.0; docker-images#1419 added only 3.5.8). It is treated as ADDED in 26.7. Portal maintainer to be notified.
+//  - Vector is absent from the portal export; taken from docker-images#1486 (add 0.55.0, remove 0.52.0). Portal maintainer notified.
+// Deprecated list = versions newly deprecated this release (status changed to deprecated vs 26.3), not the full standing deprecated set.
 
 As with previous SDP releases, many product images have been updated to newer versions.

-* Apache Airflow: https://github.com/stackabletech/docker-images/issues/1489[3.2.1]
-** Note: the Airflow 3.2.1 webserver no longer serves metrics, and this version uses Python 3.14. // TODO(verify) whether the metrics change is intended.
+* Apache Airflow: https://github.com/stackabletech/docker-images/issues/1489[3.2.2]
+** Note: this Airflow version uses Python 3.14. // TODO(verify): the docker-images#1489 note about the webserver no longer serving metrics referred to 3.2.1; confirm it still applies to 3.2.2.
