Would have been nice to give folks more than just 2-3 business days to review this PR. I think the intention from Fabrizio was to get broad community consensus on this doc (and therefore keep it open for a bit).

That being said. If folks have feedback, please still comment on the PR and we'll follow-up.

Thx for driving this!

I guess this should appear at https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/user/manifesto or at least the first page of the book. Is there a deployment problem for the book website?

(Scratch that, I saw the above comment of requiring a cherrypick.)
