- <description xml:lang="en">OSTree is a tool for developing,
- building, and deploying Linux-based operating systems. It is most
- similar to tools like dpkg and rpm in "Linux
- distributions". However, it is not a package system (though one
- could be built on top).</description>

+ OSTree is best summarized in a single sentence as "git for
+ operating system binaries". At its core architecture is a
+ userspace content-addressed filesystem, and layered on top of
+ that is an administrative layer that is designed to atomically
+ parallel install multiple bootable Unix-like operating systems.
