-The upstream work is being merged in two repositories,
-splitting userspace and kernel code:
+### Status
+
+Upstream supports running testpmd and examples
+with mlx5, i40e, ice, vmxnet3 HW, or with PCAP virtual device.
+It requires yet unsigned kernel-mode drivers to run (except mlx5).
+Only network some PMDs are currently enabled.
+
+Current focus is friction-less consumption by end-users and supporting more HW.
+Multi-process, and hence dpdk-pdump support is neither available nor scheduled.
+
+[Windows draft repository](//git.dpdk.org/draft/dpdk-draft-windows/)
+is suspended, all development happens in the upstream:
- [dpdk](//git.dpdk.org/dpdk/)
- [dpdk-kmods](//git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/)

The PMD-specific documentation should be updated in the common
