-    Please note that this project has started at the time when there
-    were no pure-Haskell implementations of TLS. Now there is tls
-    package (<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tls>), which looks
-    pretty saner than HsOpenSSL especially for initialisation and
-    error handlings. So PHO (the initial author of HsOpenSSL) wants to
-    encourage you to use and improve the tls package instead as long
-    as possible. The only problem is that the tls package has not
-    received as much review as OpenSSL from cryptography specialists
-    yet, thus we can't assume it's secure enough.
+    This package is in production use by a number of Haskell based
+    systems and stable. You may also be interested in the @tls@ package,
+    <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/tls>, which is a pure Haskell
+    implementation of SSL.
