-This is a clone of a combination of kubernetes repositories.
-See the [README](../pseudo/README.md).
-
-#### Packages
-
-The packages in this module are used by kubernetes
-clients like the kustomize API.
-
-Go consumers of this API will have a `go.mod` file
-requiring this module at a particular tag, e.g.
-
-```
-require sigs.k8s.io/pseudo/k8s v0.1.0
-```
-
-#### Release artifacts
-
-This is a Go library-only release, so the only
-artifact per se is the repo tag, in the form `pseudo/k8s/v0.1.0`,
-that API clients can `require` from their `go.mod` file.
-
-Release notes should appear on the [release page].
-
-There's a toy executable called `pseudok8s`, which, if
-run, prints a message, but is of
-no practical use to an API client.
