+Dependencies
+----------------------------------
+
+We try hard not to introduce any new dependencies at this moment. If you really
+have to, the packages bitmask depends on have to be specified *both* in the
+setup.py and the pip requirements file.
+
+Don't introduce any pinning in the setup.py file, they should go in the
+requirements files (mainly ``pkg/requirements.pip``).
