+### KPNG
+
+["Kube Proxy Next Generation (KPNG)"][kpng] was an effort to evaluate the
+potential for a new [kube-proxy] with an emphasis on modularity and
+adaptability. Through the project we explored alternatives to our historical
+kube-proxy architecture and gained a lot of community members through interest
+in it. The project was very large in scope, and was archived in 2024 after
+agreement that the community was no longer able to continue focus on it, but it
+remains important prior art for any future attempts to revise kube-proxy.
