+# rev-2 (`partial-rewrite`)
+
+This branch is currently under development, and all parts are subject to
+change.  I'll do my very best to keep the latest commit working properly
+though.
+
+Notes:
+* Pull requests will almost certainly not be accepted for this branch at this
+  time.
+    * Sorry...  It's a bit hard to explain exactly why...  But perhaps it will
+      be understandable if I just say that I've been working on this project
+      for quite a long time now, and at this point rev-2 is kind of my baby.
+      Until it grows up, and I send it out into the real world by moving it to
+      the master branch, I feel very protective of it.
+* Gyuri Horak implemented NKRO and mouse keys in [his branch]
+  (https://github.com/dyuri/ergodox-firmware) of rev-2.  Not merged, but I plan
+  to implement the features later, if I can.  See [Pull Request #28]
+  (https://github.com/benblazak/ergodox-firmware/pull/28).
