 SimGrid (3.9) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
 
+ The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
+
  GRAS:
- * GRAS is definitely dead now.
+ * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.7 or something since
+   it was not really maintained with the latest versions of SimGrid as
+   nobody stepped in to take the maintainership over.
+ * Keeping it was thus a trap to our potential users, that could take
+   it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake. GRAS also induces a lot of XBT
+   code (for portability sake), that must be maintained too.
+ * For all these reasons, we killed GRAS. If someone wants to revive it
+   in the future, don't cry, our git history still remembers of GRAS.
 
  SMPI:
  * Now works on Windows too!
