+## Git repository no longer updated
+
+In the wake of my rejection of modern software and complexity, I've stopped
+using git to manage versioning in Collapse OS because I consider RCS to be
+sufficient. The commit adding this message is therefore the last I'm adding.
+
+Further improvements of Collapse OS are available on [Collapse OS' website][web]
+as tarballs of the project including RCS metadata. Those tarballs are updated
+regularly.
