+[Singularity Hub has been archived](https://vsoch.github.io/2021/singularity-hub-archive). At least for the time being, naked-singularity definition 
+files that rely on containers that were built and hosted on Singularity
+Hub prior to it being archived will continue to pull in these container
+dependencies and build properly. Alternative container build and hosting
+options for all future work are still under consideration.

 ## Status
 
-A work in progress. But an important note on the immediate future ...
+A work in progress.
    
-The future availablity of Singularity Hub is currently unknown and
-may be slated for retirement as early as April 2021. If and when
-Singularity Hub is retired, the current set of naked-sinularity 
-definition files will be affected due to the recent move in the past
-year to using a layered dependency chain of multiple containers built
-and hosted on Singularity Hub. Alternative container build and hosting
-options are currently under consideration. This upcoming change will 
-likely affect how a given container's dependency chain is rebuilt and 
-supported long-term.
