 oCIS consists of multiple micro services, also called extensions. We started by having standalone repositories for each of them, but quickly noticed that this adds a time consuming overhead for developers. So we ended up with a monorepo housing all the extensions in one repository.
 
-Each extension lives in a subfolder (eg. `accounts` or `settings`) within this respository as an independent Go module, following the [golang-standard project-layout](https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout). They have common Makefile targets and can be used to change, build and run individual extensions.
+Each extension lives in a subfolder (eg. `accounts` or `settings`) within this respository as an independent Go module, following the [golang-standard project-layout](https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout). They have common Makefile targets and can be used to change, build and run individual extensions. This allows us to version and release each extension independently.
 
 The `ocis` folder contains our [go-micro](https://github.com/asim/go-micro/) and [suture](https://github.com/thejerf/suture) based runtime. It is used to import all extensions and implements commands to manage them, similar to a small orchestrator. With the resulting oCIS binary you can start single extensions or even all extensions at the same time.
