+## About
+
+With `uefi`, you have the flexibility to integrate selected types and
+abstractions into your project or to conveniently create EFI images, addressing
+the entire spectrum of your development needs.
+
+`uefi` works with stable Rust, but additional nightly-only features are
+gated behind an `unstable` Cargo feature flag.
+
+_Note that for producing EFI images, you also need to use a corresponding `uefi`
+compiler target of Rust, such as `x86_64-unknown-uefi`._
