I know about these. I had 9 28-bit ones: 7 burloaferimeter stator variants plus 2 others (and now the new one found yesterday). I had 49 29-bit ones: 48 burloaferimeter stator variants plus 1 stator variant of one of the misc 29-bit ones (plus two new stator variants of yesterday's).

You're right! I forgot the obvious carrier, python, and eater variants of the symmetrical 28. (I feel embarrassed, because I usually enumerate those, because it's very easy). I didn't know about table version of the asymmetrical 28, and hadn't considered other ones either. I deduced the first two of yesterday's (and these have partial syntheses needing +2 and +3 gliders based on the 28-bit one), but I hadn't considered the last two.
I enumerate stator variants by hand, and it becomes easier to miss some the larger the list becomes. Is there a search program specifically geared towards finding stator variants? I think that would be much easier than searching for oscillators (i.e. given a rotor core, do an exhaustive search for all possible bushing cells, then for for one row around the bushing, casing cells that support that bushing, then a normal still-life search for the rest of casing).

I remember seeing the first one somewhere. I saw the second one and mostly ignored it, as I have only been attempting to systematically keep track of odd oscillators up to 32 bits, and/or ones for which syntheses are known. I have only the vaguest recollection of the third one.

Yes, I know about this one, but it was found very recently, and my post is much older than that. It's too bad that this one doesn't have a synthesis yet.
Thanks for bringing all of these to my attention!
