+New repository format GREEN ALBATROSS
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A new repository format, [[format-green-albatross]], is being
+developed. Its goal is to make Obnam faster than than it currently is.
+See [[roadmap-ga]] for a rough roadmap finishing it.
+
+Note that the main Obnam developer already uses GREEN ALBATROSS, but
+incompatible on-disk format changes are still possible. If you use
+GREEN ALBTROSS and a format change happens, you'll need to start over
+with a new backup repository. Once the new repository format is
+stable, backwards incompatible changes won't happen anymore. Also,
+given very few people use GREEN ALBATROSS so far, it has a higher risk
+of bugs than the default repository format. If you're curious, please
+try GREEN ALBATROSS, but be aware of the disks.
