+# Deprecation notice
+
+This module was designed for Puppet versions 2 and 3. It should work also on Puppet 4 but doesn't use any of its features.
+
+The current Puppet 3 compatible codebase is no longer actively maintained by example42.
+
+Still, Pull Requests that fix bugs or introduce backwards compatible features will be accepted.
