No objections here. I'm happy to see the progress moving along productively.

Incidentally, is there a reason we're not using a badges service like https://shields.io/?

We'll still end-up having CI badges - e.g. https://github.com/bemanproject/exemplar/actions/workflows/pre-commit.yml/badge.svg, which is basically the general case. The library status is one-time only (one occurrence). So I think your suggestion don't solve the issue.

LE.

Also, the other proposes solution , this fails the linter (and it will fail anyways when we'll have 5-10 badges :D.

 `beman.exemplar` is a minimal C++ library conforming to [The Beman Standard](https://github.com/bemanproject/beman/blob/main/docs/BEMAN_STANDARD.md).
 This can be used as a template for those intending to write Beman libraries.

This looks like it's ready to move forward - approving.

I think that will be a good time to

1. update the beman tidy script to account for this, so we can actually put the badges once per line
2. Rethink why we need 5-10 badges.

All concerns addressed.

Thanks for the work @neatudarius .
