+## Compatibility
+
+Every minor version of controller-tools has been tested with a specific minor version of client-go. A controller-tools minor version *may* be compatible with
+other client-go minor versions, but this is by chance and neither supported nor tested. In general, we create one minor version of controller-tools
+for each minor version of client-go and other k8s.io/* dependencies.
+
+The minimum Go version of controller-tools is the highest minimum Go version of our Go dependencies. Usually, this will
+be identical to the minimum Go version of the corresponding k8s.io/* dependencies.
+
+Compatible k8s.io/*, client-go and minimum Go versions can be looked up in our [go.mod](go.mod) file.
