+Before doing so, please take a moment to read up on what sort of pull requests
+are **not accepted** (don't worrry, it's short list):

+- A pull requests that includes a **major overhaul or refactor** and was not
+  discussed or requested beforehand.
+- A pull requests that **changes infrastructure code** (changes to pipelines,
+  dependency management, monorepo-wide config and so on) that was not discussed
+  or requested beforehand.
+
+I welcome contributions big and small, but these kinds are usually more hassle
+than they are worth, so let's just not, ok?
