If - as I strongly suspect to be the case - this turns out not to be true and is nothing more than some cheap PR trick from the White House. Then other countries should rapidly step up the speed at which any US reliance is severed and even consider slamming sanctions on the Trump mafia.

We're putting the finishing touches on Zensical 0.1.0, just two weeks away! This release brings another round of MkDocs compatibility improvements as we remove the remaining differences in behavior. Very excited for what's coming!
