-### The public API for sbws
-
-As required by semantic versioning, the public API for sbws will not change
-without a major version bump. The public API is
-
-- **The available configuration options and their defaults**. New options may
-  be added without a major version bump, but no options will be removed, nor
-will defaults be drastically changed. Examples of drastic changes to defaults
-include obvious things like changing the default URL for the file to download
-or a location for data storage, but also more subjective things, such as
-increasing the target download time significantly (6s to 60s). Examples of an
-insignificant change include changing the default client nickname. Rule of
-thumb: if it is likely to affect results or sbws behavior significantly, it is
-a major change.
-
-- **The name and function of commands**. The command you run to perform certain
-  actions will not change in a backward incompatible way without a major
-version change. For example to generate a v3bw file you will always run `sbws
-generate` unless there is a major version bump and the release notes indicate
-the command has changed.
-
-- **The format of output**. Results (stored in `~/.sbws/datadir` by default)
-  will not change their format in a backward incompatible way without both a
-major version bump and a bump in the result version integer. The v3bw file
-generated with `sbws generate` will not change its format without a major
-version bump. *Log lines and the output of `sbws stats` are exceptions to this
-rule*.
-
-- **NOT the name, location, signature, or existance of python functions**. Sbws
-  is meant to be ran as a standalone program. It is not at all meant to be
-treated or used like a library. Users of sbws do *not* need an understanding of
-how its code is laid out. Therefore the code may change drastically without a
-major version bump as long as the way users interact with it does not change in
-a backward incompatible way.

 ## The `.sbws` directory
 
 By default is `~/.sbws`.
