 ## Explanation
 
 In this example, we instantiate a system with an extended (WASI)[wasi] ABI, allowing our program to rely on Wasmer's implementation of the syscalls defined by WASI as well as our own that we made.  This allows us to use the full power of an existing ABI, like WASI, and give it super-powers for our specific use case.
 
-Because the Rust WASI doesn't support the crate type of `cdylib`, we have to include a main function which we don't use.
+Because the Rust WASI doesn't support the crate type of `cdylib`, we have to include a main function which we don't use.  This is being discussed [here](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/24).
