+The `uefi-rs` crate provides safe and performant wrappers for [UEFI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface), the successor to the BIOS.
+Recently, we deprecated the [`uefi-services`] crate and removed all usages from
+the [`uefi`](https://github.com/rust-osdev/uefi-rs) repository. A new drop-in 
+replacement exists in [`uefi::helpers`](https://docs.rs/uefi/latest/uefi/helpers/index.html).
+
+The test of time showed us that having a single crate with multiple cargo 
+features is a better and more productive way forward with less maintenance
+burden - for users/consumers as well as maintainers.
