The file doesn't include this current cycle, but it's not very hard to update it manually.
The most interesting fact I stumbled upon is that ESF's run of 38 consecutive qualifications is not the longest.

That's mostly why I assumed we didn't give KPB points for playoff matches, we don't want to make winning your Qual group, or qualifying directly, a slight KPB disadvantage.

Then there's also the matter of ensuring that hosts aren't penalised for not playing World Cup qualifiers since they get automatic bids as hosts.
