+## Why
+
+While [fpm][] is great, for me it is a bummer that it depends on Ruby, tar
+and probably other software.
+
+I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a lib on go-software,
+so I hacked this together and it works!
 
 ## Goals
 
-* be simple to use
-* provide packaging for the most common linux packaging systems (at very least deb and rpm)
-* be distributed as a single binary
-* reproducible results
-  * depend on the fewer external things as possible (namely `rpmbuild`)
-  * generate packages based on yaml files (maybe also json and toml?)
-* be possible to use it as a lib in other go projects (namely [goreleaser] itself)
