+## Integration with *NiBabel*
+*NiTransforms* started as a feature-repo spun off of *NiBabel*.
+Shortly after starting with [nipy/nibabel#656](https://github.com/nipy/nibabel/pull/656), it became apparent that it was going to build up in a humongous PR nobody would be able to review as thoroughly as it would require.
+Also, *NiTransforms* has many connections to BIDS/BIDS-Derivatives and its X5 format specification for transforms, which falls outside of the current scope of *NiBabel*.
+
+The plan is to make it an isolated tool, and once it is pertinent, proceed with the integration into *NiBabel*.
+Once this repository is ready for integration, we will define what can go into *NiBabel* (presumably everything, except perhaps some final details of the X5 implementation, although *NiBabel* will support the data structure at least logically).
+This is to say that the chances that NiTransforms is integrated into NiBabel are high and scheduled to happen in ~2022 Q2.
