application installation, providing tools for both developers and
system administrators.
+Status
+------
+
+Paste has passed version 1.0. Paste is an actively maintained
+project. As of 1.0 (and actually before) we'll make a strong effort
+to maintain backward compatibility. This will include deprecation
+warnings when necessary. Major changes will take place under new
+functions or with new entry points.
+
+Using Paste does not exclude the use of other WSGI libraries and
+components. There's really no advantage to putting new development or
+major rewrites in Paste, as opposed to putting them in new packages.
+Because of this it is planned that major new development will happen
+outside of Paste. This makes Paste a very stable and conservative
+piece of infrastructure for building on. This is the intention.
