 __Three weeks ago, MkDocs 2.0 was announced – a ground-up rewrite of the documentation tool tens of thousands of projects rely on, introducing potentially significant breaking changes.__
 
-We've taken the time to thoroughly evaluate and test the pre-release version, and we want to share what we know, what it might mean for your documentation projects, and where [Zensical], our new static site generator that is _compatible with MkDocs 1.x_, fits into the picture.
+Material for MkDocs depends on MkDocs as its underlying framework and central dependency. We maintain Material for MkDocs, but we have no control over MkDocs itself.

+We've taken the time to thoroughly evaluate and test the [MkDocs 2.0 pre-release] and want to share our findings, including what it might mean for your documentation projects, and where [Zensical], our new static site generator that is _compatible with MkDocs 1.x_, fits into the picture.
 
 __If you've missed it__: [MkDocs 1.x is unmaintained], with issues and PRs piling up and no releases in the past 18 months, and seemingly no plans to fix long-standing issues like [live-reload problems]. More importantly, it's unclear whether security issues will be addressed, and whether the project will receive any updates at all in the future.
 
 _Please note that MkDocs 2.0 is still in pre-release, and the information in this article is based on the current state of the project. We keep it updated as we learn more._
