 ## Configuration CI
 
-### Config Branches
-
-Config branches are branches that store model configurations of the form: `release-<config>` or `dev-<config>`, for example: `release-025deg_jra55do_ryf`. For more information on creating your own config branches, or for understanding the PR process in this repository, see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
-
-### Config Tags
-
-Config tags are specific tags on config branches, whose `MAJOR.MINOR` version compares the reproducibility of the configurations. Major version changes denote that a particular config tag breaks reproducibility with tags before it, and a minor version change does not. These have the form: `release-<config>-<tag>`, such as `release-025deg_jra55do_ryf-1.2`.
-
-So for example, say we have the following config tags:
-
-- `release-025deg_jra55do_ryf-1.0`
-- `release-025deg_jra55do_ryf-1.1`
-- `release-025deg_jra55do_ryf-2.0`
-- `release-025deg_jra55do_ryf-3.0`
-
-This means that `*-1.0` and `*-1.1` are configurations for that particular experiment type that are reproducible with each other, but not any others (namely, `*-2.0` or `*-3.0`).
-
-`*-2.0` is not reproducible with `*-1.0`, `*.1.1` or `*-3.0` configurations.
-
-Similarly, `*-3.0` is not reproducible with `*-1.0`, `*-1.1` or `*-2.0`.

 ### PR Repro CI
 
 This Pipeline compares configurations modified in a PR (the `source` branch) against a 'ground truth' checksum, usually the `target` branch. It also verifies that commons mistakes in configurations are not made. This allows developers to know if the changes they are about to commit lead to valid and reproducible results. Either way, if the PR is merged, the new commit is tagged in such a way that we know how reproducible it is against past configurations.
