+Development Status
+------------------
+
+SSHFS is shipped by all major Linux distributions and has been in
+production use across a wide range of systems for many years. However,
+at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and
+there are a number of known issues (see the bugtracker).  The current
+maintainer continues to apply pull requests and makes regular
+releases, but unfortunately has no capacity to do any development
+beyond addressing high-impact issues. When reporting bugs, please
+understand that unless you are including a pull request or are
+reporting a critical issue, you will probably not get a response.
