->   - make it easy for our customers to security review the binaries used by the zipline platform
+> ### Intended Use
+> This repository is built and deployed as part of the [Zipline](https://zipline.ai) platform. 
+> It can also be used and self-hosted freely by anyone.
 > 
-> ### Why not upstream it?
-> We have made changes to the kvstore interface and the thrift api - so upstreaming is not easy.
-> But you are more than welcome to pick changes from this repo and upstream them.
+> ### Relationship to Chronon
+> Updates to Chronon are picked and merged into this repo on a regular basis, and improvements made to this repository 
+> can be merged upstream into the main repository.
 > 
 > ### How to use it?
-> Unless you need any of the differing aspects mentioned above, you should use the original repo.
