As suggested and discussed on #1692, I would like to make The Zen of Prometheus an official part of documentation.

It would be great if you could help me to refine it by your reviews

I like the idea of adding this here a lot.

Of course, the original idea had a humorous touch and was meant to be taken with a grain of salt. As an "official" statement here on the project's website it will receive quite a lot of scrutiny…

I want to check it one last time. Before ping you. It shouldn't take too long. However, feel free to have a look if you have free cycle. Thank you so much.

@beorn7 this is ready for another round. I hope you could find some time. I would be more than happy to continue iterating on this, but I don't want to waste your time. Feel free to suggest me concrete edit if you have clear vision on it.

Modulo spelling nit, this looks good to me.

As nobody else has chimed in in a while, I guess you could just merge. This is documentation. Improving it incrementally is easy.
