-This will be an active month for Carbs as major changes to the base and the
-package manager will be coming up.
-
-** Statically linking the base
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: statically-linking-the-base
-:END:
-
-For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to simplify the base and
-statically link the core (mostly binaries rather than libraries). I usually see
-some people extremely opposed to static linking as I also see the opposite on
-people.
-
-I believe that binaries on the core should always be linked statically. This
-ensures that an SONAME bump to =libObscure.so= will not break the core
-functionality of your system, forcing you to use external resources to recover
-from such an issue. As long as you can compile, use core utilities, edit text,
-and access the web, you can solve any given issue on your system.
-
-However, I don't think that removing shared libraries is sensible either. Not
-every piece of software out there is good quality enough to be statically
-linked.
-
-** Major changes on the core repository
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: major-changes-on-the-core-repository
-:END:
-
-There have been drastic changes to the core repository and the base rootfs this
-month (with more on the way). Right now changes are as follows.
-
-*** Removed from Core

-*** Added to Core

-** Making the wiki available offline
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: making-the-wiki-available-offline
-:END:
-
-Soon, all documentation regarding Carbs Linux will be avaialable to be installed
-from the core repository in a =carbs-docs= package along with its own document
-crawler. Currently, the documentation regarding the installation process is a
-little outdated which will also receive some important updates.
-
-** ISO image for Carbs
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: iso-image-for-carbs
-:END:
-
-I am thinking of releasing an ISO image in order to provide a standardized
-environment for installation along with installation helper tools in the spirit
-of =arch-install-scripts=. Let's see how that's going to play out.
