+            Proto is a hyper-lightweight dependency tracking and module installation
+            system.  It's only purpose is to help you set up a running environment
+            where you can play with Perl 6 modules with minimal hassle.  It is not
+            to be taken too seriously.  It is not a full-fledged module installation
+            system, as Parrot's Plumage aims to be.  It is a prototype; in fact, its
+            very name was chosen to indicate this fact.  It is currently trying to
+            prototype ideas for the loadable module ecosystem of Rakudo *, which can
+            also handle multiple copies of modules distinguished by :auth and :ver
+            name parts.  But nothing lasts forever, especially in this installer.
