As this is not the first time I have looked this up, it would be nice to
have a more explanatory description like:
"...generating Concise Binary Object Representation data format defined
in RFC 8949 designed by C.BORmann with the goals of extremely small code
size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for
version negotiation."

I'm using the description from the Fedora rpm spec file verbatim ;)
