 This expressive API will not be implemented by Envoy Proxy, but rather an officially supported translation layer 
 on top.
 
-### Simplified deployment
+### Batteries included
 Envoy Gateway will simplify how Envoy is deployed and managed, allowing application developers to focus on 
 delivering core business value.
 
+The project plans to include additional infrastructure components required by users to fulfill their Ingress and API
+gateway needs: It will handle Envoy infrastructure provisioning (e.g. Kubernetes Service, Deployment, et cetera), and
+possibly infrastructure provisioning of related sidecar services.  It will include sensible defaults with the ability to
+override.  It will included channels for improving ops by exposing status through API conditions and Kubernetes status
+sub-resources.

 Making an application accessible needs to be a trivial task for any developer. Similarly, infrastructure administrators
 will enjoy a simplified management model that doesn't require extensive knowledge of the solution's architecture to
 operate.
