+Note to Users
+=============
+
+Nose has been in maintenance mode for the past several years and will likely
+cease without a new person/team to take over maintainership.  New projects
+should consider using `Nose2 <https://github.com/nose-devs/nose2>`_, `py.test
+<http://pytest.org/>`, or just plain unittest/unittest2.
