-## The Falco Project
+## Falco Repo: Powering the Core of The Falco Project
 
-The Falco Project codebase is maintained under the [falcosecurity GitHub organization](https://github.com/falcosecurity). The primary repository, [falcosecurity/falco](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco), holds the source code for the Falco binary, while other sub-projects are hosted in dedicated repositories. This approach of isolating components into specialized repositories enhances modularity and focused development. Notable [core repositories](https://github.com/falcosecurity/evolution?tab=readme-ov-file#core) include:
+This is the main Falco repository which contains the source code for building the Falco binary. By utilizing its [libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs) and the [falco.yaml](falco.yaml) configuration file, this repository forms the foundation of Falco's functionality. The Falco repository is closely interconnected with the following *core* repositories:
 
-- [falcosecurity/libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs): This repository hosts Falco's core libraries, which constitute the majority of the binary’s source code and provide essential features, such as kernel drivers.
-- [falcosecurity/rules](https://github.com/falcosecurity/rules): It contains the official ruleset for Falco, offering pre-defined detection rules for various security threats and abnormal behaviors.
-- [falcosecurity/plugins](https://github.com/falcosecurity/plugins): This repository supports integration with external services through plugins that extend Falco's capabilities beyond syscalls and container events, with plans for evolving specialized functionalities in future releases.
-- [falcosecurity/falcoctl](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falcoctl): A command-line utility designed for managing and interacting with Falco.
-- [falcosecurity/charts](https://github.com/falcosecurity/charts): This repository provides Helm charts for deploying Falco and its ecosystem, simplifying the installation and management process.
+- [falcosecurity/libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs): Falco's libraries are key to its fundamental operations, making up the greater portion of the source code of the Falco binary and providing essential features such as kernel drivers.
+- [falcosecurity/rules](https://github.com/falcosecurity/rules): Contains the official ruleset for Falco, providing pre-defined detection rules for various security threats and abnormal behaviors.
+- [falcosecurity/plugins](https://github.com/falcosecurity/plugins/): Falco plugins facilitate integration with external services, expand Falco's capabilities beyond syscalls and container events, and are designed to evolve with specialized functionality in future releases.

 ## Getting Started with Falco
 
-If you're new to Falco, begin your journey with our [Getting Started](https://falco.org/docs/getting-started/) guide. For production deployments, please refer to our comprehensive [Setup](https://falco.org/docs/setup/) documentation.
+Carefully review and follow the [Official Documentation](https://falco.org/docs/install-operate/).
 
-As final recommendations before deploying Falco, verify environment compatibility, define your detection goals, optimize performance, choose the appropriate build, and plan for SIEM or data lake integration to ensure effective incident response.
+Considerations and guidance for Falco adopters:
+
+1. Understand dependencies: Assess the environment where you'll run Falco and consider kernel versions and architectures.
+
+2. Define threat detection objectives: Clearly identify the threats you want to detect and evaluate Falco's strengths and limitations.
+
+3. Consider performance and cost: Assess compute performance overhead and align with system administrators or SREs. Budget accordingly.
+
+4. Choose build and customization approach: Decide between the open source Falco build or creating a custom build pipeline. Customize the build and deployment process as necessary, including incorporating unique tests or approaches, to ensure a resilient deployment with fast deployment cycles.
+
+5. Integrate with output destinations: Integrate Falco with SIEM, data lake systems, or other preferred output destinations to establish a robust foundation for comprehensive data analysis and enable effective incident response workflows.
 
 ### Demo Environment
 
 A demo environment is provided via a docker-compose file that can be started on a docker host which includes falco, falcosidekick, falcosidekick-ui and its required redis database. For more information see the [docker-compose section](docker/docker-compose/)

 ## Falco Components Versioning
@@ -188,7 +181,9 @@ This section provides more details around the versioning of the components that
 - Falco version is a git tag (`x.y.z`), see [Procedures](#procedures) section. Note that the Falco version is a sem-ver-like schema, but not fully compatible with sem-ver.
 - [FALCO_ENGINE_VERSION](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/userspace/engine/falco_engine_version.h) is not sem-ver and must be bumped either when a backward incompatible change has been introduced to the rules files syntax and loading logic, and/or when `FALCO_ENGINE_CHECKSUM` has changed. The checksum is computed by considering the available rules fields (see currently supported [Falco fields](https://falco.org/docs/reference/rules/supported-fields/)), the event types (see currently supported [Falco events](https://falco.org/docs/reference/rules/supported-events/)), and the supported driver schema version. A checksum indicates that something was not available in previous engine versions. See the [rules release guidelines](https://github.com/falcosecurity/rules/blob/main/RELEASE.md#versioning-a-ruleset) to understand how this affects the versioning of Falco rules. Breaking changes introduced in the Falco engine are not necessarily tied to the drivers or libs versions. The version number must be incremented every time and only when a single change or an atomic group of changes - which meet the criteria described above - is included in the `master` branch. Thus, a version bump can occur multiple times during the development and testing phases of a given release cycle. A given version bump must not group multiple changes that occurred sporadically during the release cycle.
 - During development and release preparation, libs and driver reference commits are often bumped in Falco's cmake setup ([falcosecurity-libs cmake](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/cmake/modules/falcosecurity-libs.cmake#L30) and [driver cmake](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/cmake/modules/driver.cmake#L29)) in order to merge new Falco features. In practice, they are mostly bumped at the same time referencing the same `libs` commit. However, for the official Falco build `FALCOSECURITY_LIBS_VERSION` flag that references the stable libs version is used (read below).
+- Similarly, Falco plugins versions are bumped in Falco's cmake setup ([plugins cmake](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/cmake/modules/plugins.cmake)) and those versions are the ones used for the Falco release.
 - At release time Plugin, Libs and Driver versions are compatible with Falco.
+- If you use the standard Falco setup leveraging driver-loader, [driver-loader script](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco/blob/master/scripts/falco-driver-loader) will fetch the kernel space artifact (object file) corresponding to the default `DRIVER_VERSION` Falco was shipped with (read more below under Libs).

-# Legacy eBPF probe, gVisor libscap engine and gRPC output deprecations
-
-## Summary
-
-This proposal aims to formalize motivations and procedures for deprecating the legacy eBPF probe, the gRPC output and
-the gVisor libscap engine.
-
-One of the key objectives of Falco is to maintain a seamless user experience, regardless of the system call event source
-actually used. This objective imposes strong requirements among all drivers and engines acting as system call source
-(i.e.: gVisor libscap engine), feature parity, among each other, above all. Feature parity raises challenges from both
-technical and maintainability perspectives, and these challenges are not justified if the driver/engine is no/little
-used. For these reasons, this document aims for raising consensus regarding the legacy eBPF probe and gRPC output
-deprecation.
-
-Similar arguments could be raised in favor of the gRPC output deprecation: this output requires dependency on the
-gRPC framework, that introduces a non-negligible build time overhead and maintainability burden (especially in a C++
-codebase), not justified by the little usage of the output.
-
-Upcoming evidences of non-negligible use of the gVisor engine and the gRPC output could be addressed by providing a
-separate source plugin in case of gVisor, and a Falco Sidekick output as a replacement of the gRPC output.
-

-
-The legacy eBPF probe strives to provide a little more coverage than the modern eBPF one. This increased coverage comes
-at cost of flexibility and maintainability. Indeed:
-1. it cannot leverage CORE eBPF features - as a result, falcosecurity must maintain a great number of officially
-supported eBPF objects, each one built for a specific officially-supported kernel flavor; this increases the
-maintainability burden and makes the system less flexible to kernel configurations/structures changes
-2. old kernel versions support is difficult to retain - the verifier imposes huge limitations on old kernel versions,
-and any tiny change easily result in the verifier rejecting the code
-3. it is difficult to keep it up to date with other drivers - some desired features cannot be implemented in any way
-using eBPF on old kernel flavors, due to lack of eBPF helpers/program types or verifier limitations (e.g.: there is no
-way of implementing a synchronous data harvesting mechanism like the one provided by BPF iterators). As falcosecurity
-strives for feature parity among drivers, this imposes a big limitation on the other drivers. Please notice that:
-   1. the kernel module is unconstrained on the nature of feature it can support
-   2. the modern eBPF probe can easily rely on CORE features to probe for kernel features and use them if available
-
-Besides the above, the legacy eBPF probe provides support for a range of versions that is entirely contained by the
-kernel module supported range. Additionally, different distro kernel flavors already back-port features required by the
-modern eBPF, enabling its usage on kernel older than `5.8`.
-
-The above considerations, together with the evidence of its little usage, make the legacy eBPF probe a good candidate
-for deprecation.
-
-### gVisor libscap engine deprecation
-
-gVisor libscap engine implements a system call event source by leveraging events coming from gVisor itself through gRPC.
-
-There is evidence that this engine is little used. Moreover, gVisor doesn't provide all information required to build
-all supported event types, indeed resulting in a system call source not completely equivalent to the ones provided by
-drivers. Finally, it requires `falcosecurity/libs` being dependent on protobuf, this latter introducing a non-negligible
-build time overhead and maintainability burden.
-
-Deprecating it would allow to streamline system call event sources alignment, maintainability, and reduce build time for
-both `falcosecurity/falco` and `falcosecurity/libs`.
-
-### gRPC output deprecation
-
-The gRPC output provides a mechanism through which a gRPC client can subscribe to the Falco alerts stream. This output
-leverages a gRPC server embedded into Falco.
-
-As for the legacy eBPF probe and the gVisor libscap engine, there is evidence that this output is little used. Also,
-similarly to the gVisor libscap engine, this requires Falco being dependent on the protobuf, and additionally, on the
-entire C++ gRPC framework. Finally, the little amount of data that is sent through the gRPC stream, and the
-communication model (only involving a one-way communication from the server to the client) doesn't justify the need of
-using gRPC.
-
-Deprecating it would allow to reduce the build system, streamline maintainability, and reduce build time for
-`falcosecurity/falco`.
-
-## Goals
-
-* Deprecate the legacy eBPF probe, the gVisor libscap engine, and the gRPC output
-* Detail a plan to follow during the deprecation period, before completely remove any of the aforementioned components
-
-## Non-goals
-
-* Implement a gVisor source plugin as gVisor libscap engine alternative
-* Implement the gRPC output as Falco Sidekick output
-* Detail a plan to follow after taking the decision to completely remove any of the aforementioned components
-
-## The plan
-
-This section aims to detail the plan to follow contextually and after the deprecation mark, but before taking any
-definitive removal decision about the legacy eBPF probe, the gVisor libscap engine, and the gRPC output (collectively
-referred to hereinafter as "the components" or simply "components").
-
-The deprecation of these components introduces user-facing changes that must be addressed as prescribed by the current
-deprecation policy for "non-backward compatible user-facing changes" (see
-[20231220-features-adoption-and-deprecation.md#deprecation-policy](./20231220-features-adoption-and-deprecation.md#deprecation-policy)).
-
-All components are stable, and given that the current stable Falco version is `0.42.1` (ante `1.0.0`), the minimum
-deprecation period length is 1 release: this means that components cannot be removed before Falco `0.44.0`.
-
-At high level, the action plan is to inform users, during the deprecation period, about the deprecation: this is
-achieved by emitting a deprecation notice if the user try to leverage any of the feature exposed by any component, and
-by updating the website in any of the relevant areas.
-
-During the deprecation period, but before taking decision to remove the components, projects belonging to the
-`falcosecurity` organization will be updated to not use/rely on any of these. Specifically:
-- on `falcosecurity/libs`, any CI job building and testing the legacy eBPF probe will be removed
-- on `falcosecurity/kernel-testing`, playbooks will not build and test the legacy eBPF probe anymore
-- on `falcosecurity/event-generator`, the internal gRPC alert retriever will be replaced with an HTTP alert retriever,
-leveraging the existing HTTP output.
-
-## The non-plan
-
-This proposal does not address any design or implementation aspect of the gVisor engine and gRPC output replacement, nor
-formalizes in any way the conditions under which a replacement should be delivered. Upcoming evidences of non-negligible
-use of the gVisor engine and the gRPC output may be addressed by providing a separate source plugin in case of gVisor,
-and a Falco Sidekick output as a replacement of the gRPC output, but these latter possibilities should be intended as
-suggestions, and will not constraint in any way any related future choice.
-
-Finally, this proposal doesn't detail any aspect of the eventual removal.
