-    # Ideally, we would have liked to also pin the version of the online TeX

-    # However, that is not currently possible, due to lack of upstream support
-    # for specifying this in runtime, there were 2 suggestions sent upstream
-    # that suggested a way of improving the situation:
+    # Pin the version of the online TeX bundle that Tectonic's developer
+    # distribute, so that the `biber` version and the `biblatex` version

-    # The 1st suggestion seems more promising as it'd allow us to simply use
-    # makeWrapper's --add-flags option. However, the PR linked above is not
-    # complete, and as of currently, upstream hasn't even reviewed it, or
-    # commented on the idea.
-    #
-    # Note also that upstream has announced that they will put less time and
-    # energy for the project:
+    # Upstream is updating it's online TeX bundle slower then
+    # https://github.com/plk/biber. That's why we match here the `bundleURL`
+    # version with that of `biber-for-tectonic`. See also upstream discussion:
