 ## Filing issues
 
@@ -27,5 +27,3 @@ Consider the following guidelines when preparing to submit a patch:
 * Ensure that you test your code. Any patches sent in for new / fixed functionality must include tests in order to be merged into master.
 * If you plan on making any major changes, create an issue before sending a patch. This will allow for proper discussion beforehand.
 * Keep any os / arch specific code contained to os / arch specific files. Delve leverages Go's filename based conditional compilation, i.e do not put Linux specific functionality in a non Linux specific file.
