+Dependency Version Guidelines
+-----------------------------
+
+As a general guideline, automodapi dependencies (at the time of writing, just
+Sphinx) aim to maintain compatibility with versions <= 2 years old. Dependencies
+may be newer, however, if specific features become important to help automodapi
+work better or be more maintainable.
