ICLR paper's Future Work section just points to a NEXT_VERSION.md in the supplement

A retweet flagged with "ICLR Paper?????" shows the Future Work section of an ICLR paper: instead of a formal roadmap, the benchmark's next composition is deferred to a promptchecks/NEXTVERSION.md file in the supplement, outlining direct-answer probes, calibration against exact answers, human validation with domain annotators, and a convergent-validity study against HumanAgencyBench.

Shipping your future work as a Markdown file in the supplement is unusual for a top-tier conference paper, hence the amusement.
