+NOTE ABOUT STATIC LINKING
+
+We are not yet firmly freezing all runtime dependencies of the libdbus
+library. For example, the library may read certain files as part of
+its implementation, and these files may move around between versions.
+
+As a result, we don't yet recommend statically linking to
+libdbus. Also, reimplementations of the protocol from scratch might
+have to work to stay in sync with how libdbus behaves.
+
+To lock things down and declare static linking and reimplementation to
+be safe, we'd like to see all the internal dependencies of libdbus
+(for example, files read) well-documented in the specification, and
+we'd like to have a high degree of confidence that these dependencies
+are supportable over the long term and extensible where required.
+
+NOTE ABOUT HIGH-LEVEL BINDINGS
+
+Note that the high-level bindings are _separate projects_ from the
+main D-Bus package, and have their own release cycles, levels of
+maturity, and ABI stability policies. Please consult the documentation
+for your binding.
