 This lesson is a template lesson that uses [The Carpentries Workbench][workbench].
 
-## Note about lesson life cycle stage
-Although the `config.yaml` states the life cycle stage as pre-alpha, **the template is stable and ready to use**. The life cycle stage is preset to `"pre-alpha"` as this setting is appropriate for new lessons initialised using the template.
