 Single-VM Vagrant Brozzler Deployment
 -------------------------------------
 
-This is a work in progress. Vagrant + ansible configuration for a single-vm
-deployment of brozzler and warcprox with dependencies (notably rethinkdb).
+This is a vagrant + ansible configuration for a single-vm deployment of
+brozzler and warcprox with dependencies (notably rethinkdb).
 
 The idea is for this to be a quick way for people to get up and running with a
 deployment resembling a real distributed deployment, and to offer a starting
 configuration for people to adapt to their clusters.
 
-And equally important, as a harness for integration tests. (As of now brozzler
-itself has no automated tests!)
