 DESCRIPTION
-    WARNING! THIS IS A PRE-ALPHA RELEASE! IT WILL CRASH, CORRUPT YOUR DATA
-    AND EAT YOUR CHILDREN! (Actually, apart from being untested and a bit
-    feature-limited, it might already be useful).
+    WARNING! This module is very new, and not very well tested (that's up to
+    you to do). Furthermore, details of the implementation might change
+    freely before version 1.0. And lastly, the object serialisation protocol
+    depends on a pending IANA assignment, and until that assignment is
+    official, this implementation is not interoperable with other
+    implementations (even future versions of this module) until the
+    assignment is done.
+
+    You are still invited to try out CBOR, and this module.

+    In short, CBOR is a faster and very compact binary alternative to JSON,

     The primary goal of this module is to be *correct* and the secondary
     goal is to be *fast*. To reach the latter goal it was written in C.
