 # Core
 
-## Remove brigand from List.h
-
-Early in the development of VTK-m, a third party header library named
-brigand was incorporated into the source code. This header file contained
-the implementation of several complex meta-template programming constructs
-that are useful. Furthermore, it is implemented in such a way as to compile
-(relatively) quickly.
-
-However, lately we have run into problems with brigand. First, it is not a
-very active project so that it is hard to submit fixes back to the project.
-Of the activity that is there, the most recent version of brigand now
-requires C++17, which is not directly supported by VTK-m. Second, brigand
-was added before the thridparty directory was established. This means as we
-have added corrections to the brigand source code, they have not been
-properly marked up in git to allow us to easily bring in changes from the
-main repo. On top of all that, because of the complexity of brigand, we
-often run into problems with compilers that fail in corner cases, which
-makes it difficult to support.
-
-We have already moved away from brigand quite a bit. This takes another big
-step closer to removing our independence on brigand by no longer requiring
-it for any of the implementation of `vtkm::List`.
-
-Because brigand.hpp is no longer included in List.h, some uses of the
-brigand header have been replaced with the implementation in List.h.
