+### Motivation
+
+Genode's primary focus seems to be security: reducing the number of "trusted"
+lines of code for certain operations and applications, while allowing large,
+untrusted, complicated applications to run at the same time on the same
+hardware. The other benefit is the potential to maintain guaranteed real-time
+performance while running on modest resources with significantly less
+development effort and testing.
+
+In short, the architecture is appealing for building systems that need to run
+reliably with little or no intervention in a variety of environments, to do so
+efficiently on low-performance hardware, and to still allow complex
+applications to be integrated or built on top.
