+\`\*Fitness is a score from 0 to 5 indicating the fitness of a release
+for use as an **Emergency** networking aid. Do not let this put you off
+downloading it to try it out or help us by finding and reporting bug and
+feature requests. In order to make it to a level 5 fitness we need as
+many people to use it as possible so we are more likely to find bugs
+before they end up causing trouble for people who expect our livedistro
+to work in an emergency.
+
+- 0 = completely unfit (likely to do more harm than good in any
+  emergency)
+- 1 = still mostly unfit (unless you are an active developer on the
+  project you won't likely benefit from this in an emergency)
+- 2 = works well enough to provide basic connectivity with minimal
+  configuration. (yeh! we're a little bit fit now! which is not to say
+  we're fit enough to run a marathon, so don't expect to be able to do
+  much without a regular internet connection or some sysadmin skills)
+- 3 = in addition to qualifying for level 2 fitness this has basic
+  intermesh services like a built in chat server, microblog server and
+  similar user oriented services ready to run with minimal
+  configuration. (still needs a service to tell other mesh users and end
+  users about the services on the mesh, aka our DNSless service
+  distribution).
+- 4 = fully featured and works well enough to be used in friendly
+  network conditions (you aren't in jeopardy of getting
+  arrested/attacked for using it for things that are considered legal
+  where you are using it)
+- 5 = fully featured and setup with best effort secure defaults and
+  possibly other security features (this by no means should suggest that
+  it is safe to use in an environment where there is a government or
+  government like entity is actively trying to suppress network
+  connectivity by means other than denial standard network connectivity)
+- 6 = if we find the magic sauce that can make it super hard to find
+  users if you aren't a user and reasonably impossible to detect or
+  decrypt traffic not sent to you, then you will see this magic number
+  as the fitness score. Until then it is the metaphorical unicorn. It
+  doesn't exist.
+
+You may have noticed that the fitness list doesn't ever say it's safe to
+use in a hostile network. That's because it won't likely ever be safe to
+use in a hostile network. The best we can do is to set reasonably secure
+defaults and policies and try to educate users on internet hygiene so
+they don't let people rub malware in their face if they go someplace we
+can't protect them.
