s6-linux-utils is a set of minimalistic Linux-specific system utilities.
</p>
+<p>
+ Prefixing the name of this package &mdash; and the names of the binaries it
+provides &mdash; with <tt>s6-</tt> was a naming mistake. It happened in the
+early days of the
+<a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a> project, before it grew and
+became an ecosystem focused on supervision, service management and init;
+despite sharing the same author and the same philosophy, and being designed
+to work with it, <tt>s6-linux-utils</tt> is <strong>not</strong>,
+stricto sensu, part of the s6 ecosystem, and if you arrived here while trying
+to understand what <a href="//skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a> is, you are
+on the wrong page. I apologize for the confusion.
