 ## What is it?
 Postal.js is an in-memory message bus - very loosely inspired by [AMQP](http://www.amqp.org/) - written in JavaScript.  Postal.js runs in the browser, or on the server-side using Node.js. It takes the familiar "eventing-style" paradigm (of which most JavaScript developers are familiar) and extends it by providing "broker" and subscriber implementations which are more sophisticated than what you typically find in simple event delegation.

 ## How can I extend it?
 There are four main ways you can extend Postal:
 
 * Write a plugin.  Need more complex behavior that the built-in SubscriptionDefinition doesn't offer?  Write a plugin that you can attach to the global postal object.  See [postal.when](https://github.com/postaljs/postal.when) for an example of how to do this.
 * Write a custom federation plugin, to federate instances of postal across a transport of your choice.
-* You can write an entirely new bus implementation if you wanted.  The postal `subscribe`, `publish` and `addWiretap` calls all simply wrap a concrete implementation provided by the `postal.configuration.bus` object.  For example, if you wanted a bus that stored message history in local storage and pushed a dump of past messages to a new subscriber, you'd simply write your implementation and then swap the default one out by calling: `postal.configuration.bus = myWayBetterBusImplementation`.
 * You can also change how the `bindingResolver` matches subscriptions to message topics being published.  You may not care for the AMQP-style bindings functionality.  No problem!  Write your own resolver object that implements a `compare` and `reset` method and swap the core version out with your implementation by calling: `postal.configuration.resolver = myWayBetterResolver`.
 
 It's also possible to extend the monitoring of messages passing through Postal by adding a "wire tap".  A wire tap is a callback that will get invoked for any published message (even if no actual subscriptions would bind to the message's topic).  Wire taps should _not_ be used in lieu of an actual subscription - but instead should be used for diagnostics, logging, forwarding (to a websocket publisher or a local storage wrapper, for example) or other concerns that fall along those lines.  This repository used to include a console logging wiretap called postal.diagnostics.js - you can now find it [here in it's own repo](https://github.com/postaljs/postal.diagnostics).  This diagnostics wiretap can be configured with filters to limit the firehose of message data to specific channels/topics and more.

 * Add-ons to enable message capture and replay are in the works and should be ready soon.
 * The `SubscriptionDefinition` object will be given the ability to pause (skip) responding to subscriptions
-* We'll be working on experimental "lightweight" builds of postal, providing a basic SubscriptionDefinition prototype, but removing the more advanced options if you don't need them. Reduced size builds would be offered alongside full builds, giving you page-weight-sensitive options.
+* We'll be working on experimental "underscore-free" builds of postal, providing ES5 method shims so that you don't have to pull in underscore/lodash just to run postal.
 * What else would you like to see?
