 [^5]: In the future, I'll most likely look at renaming this package.  That'll come naturally as part of a wider project.  You'll probably notice that I avoid explicitly using this package's name in a lot of places; that will make it easier to update.  The naming scheme is... unfortunate, and in retrospect I should have named it differently to avoid confusion with the original project.
 [^6]: One example of such a project is [ListenBrainz Discord RPC](https://github.com/freshgum-bubbles/listenbrainz-discord-rpc), which makes use of this package to structure its functionality into modular services.  There are some other examples on GitHub's *Dependents* view, too.
 [^7]: An example of "magic", in this context, would be integration with the filesystem to read a configuration file in a proprietary format, and then using that to configure services -- while that might make more sense for Java developers, such features don't (in my experience) scale well in JavaScript.  Also, we'd have to write a ton of editor integrations! `</ramble>`
-[^8]: If the library is ever feature-complete, it'll still be maintained -- compatibility with the latest engines will still be tested.  However, as stated prior, features would not be added for the sake of adding features.  Therefore, if this package ever *becomes* feature-complete, **please don't ask me if it's abandoned!**  If there haven't been any commits for over a year, it probably is; in that case, please fork it and continue my efforts.  All power to you!
