+
+This is a test release of this package.  Using it more or less
+implicitly signs you up to help us find whatever problems you report.
+
+The documentation still needs more work.  Suggestions welcome.
+Patches even more welcome.
+
+Please send comments and problem reports about this test release to
+bug-bison@gnu.org.  This program will get better only if you report
+the problems you encounter.
+
+Please, *do not package this*, *do not distribute it* widely, it is
+not ready for full scale use.  Because it is not fully functional, if
+you distribute this package, we will be buried under bug reports from
+panicked users.  We don't have time to spend on this, and nor do the
+users.
