+        grappelli_safe was created to provide a snapshot of the Grappelli admin
+        skin for Django, to be referenced as a dependency for the Mezzanine CMS
+        for Django.
+
+        At the time of grappelli_safe's creation, Grappelli was incorrectly
+        packaged on PyPI, and had also dropped compatibility with Django 1.1 -
+        grappelli_safe was therefore created to address these specific issues.
