+* Differences between Cuirass and Hydra
+
+In the beginning there was Nix, and Hydra was its build farm. Then
+there appeared Guix which is technically very similar to Nix, except it
+is written in Guile. At first, Guix also used Hydra. Then Guix decided
+to make its own build farm, also written in Guile. So there appeared
+Cuirass. And Cuirass was very similar to Hydra, but afterwards it
+diverged quite a lot.
+
+In particular, Cuirass does not have a notion of "project" anymore.
+Hydra has "projects" and "jobsets" inside each project. But Cuirass
+decided that projects are not needed, so it has only "jobsets".
