-# Rust bindings for accessing the Go containers/image stack
+# Common synchronized files
 
-This crate contains a Rust API that forks `/usr/bin/skopeo` and
-talks to it via a custom API.  You can use it to fetch container
-images in a streaming fashion.
-
-At the time of this writing, you will need skopeo 1.6.0 or later.
-
-# Why?
-
-First, assume one is operating on a codebase that isn't Go, but wants
-to interact with container images - we can't just include the Go containers/image
-library.
-
-The primary intended use case of this is for things like
-[ostree-containers](https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree-rs-ext/issues/18)
-where we're using container images to encapsulate host operating system
-updates, but we don't want to involve the [containers/image](github.com/containers/image/)
-storage layer.
-
-What we *do* want from the containers/image library is support for things like
-signatures and offline mirroring.  More on this below.
-
-Forgetting things like ostree exist for a second - imagine that you wanted to 
-encapsulate a set of Debian/RPM/etc packages inside
-a container image to ship for package-based operating systems.  You could use this to stream
-out the layer containing those packages and extract them directly, rather than serializing
-everything to disk in the containers/storage disk location, only to copy it out again and delete the first.
-
-Another theoretical use case could be something like [krustlet](https://github.com/deislabs/krustlet),
-which fetches WebAssembly blobs inside containers.  Here again, we don't want to involve
-containers/storage.
-
-# Desired containers/image features
-
-There are e.g. Rust libraries like [dkregistry-rs](https://github.com/camallo/dkregistry-rs) and
-[oci-distribution](https://crates.io/crates/oci-distribution) and similar for other languages.
-
-However, the containers/image Go library has a lot of additional infrastructure
-that will impose a maintenance burden to replicate:
-
- - Signatures (`man containers-auth.json`)
- - Mirroring/renaming (`man containers-registries.conf`)
- - Support for `~/.docker/config.json` for authentication as well as `/run`
-
-# Status
-
-API is subject to change.
