+This is [[https://koszko.org/koszko.html][Wojtek]]'s Guix fork.  It serves as a home for personal modifications
+and additions that for some reason aren't in upstream Guix.  These may include
+package and service definitions, as well as changes to Guix itself.  You're
+free to clone this repository and use it for your own needs.  But if you
+choose to do so, please be ready to deal with some peculiarities.
+
+- The tip this repository is intended to be frequently rebased on top of
+  upstream Guix so expect ~git pull~ to complain.
+- As a result of the rebasing approach, the ~--allow-downgrades~ flag has to
+  be used when running ~guix pull~ or ~guix (system|home) reconfigure~.
+- As another result of the rebasing approach, there's no PGP authorization (it
+  would not be possible to provide it reliably).  The =.guix-authorizations=
+  file is removed by one of the tip commits to remove the warning from ~guix
+  pull~.
+- If you don't know what all this means, this is probably not for you.  Try
+  [[https://guix.gnu.org/][upstream Guix]] instead :)
+
+Feel free to look into the ~koszko-scripts~ branch to see the scripts I am
+using to maintain this thing.  Note they might prove pretty useless to you.
