+title: ADR-0001 - Removing CCI References
+status: proposed
+---
+# Removing CCIs
+
+## Context
+Most rules that are in STIG profiles have a CCI reference.
+The CCI references come from the STIGs published by DISA.
+After some review it appears the CCI numbers for the same control vary widely from
+product to product.
+Even between products in the family (RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, for example) the CCI references from DISA are very different.
+
+
+To aid in keeping the content updated there was an effort to automate the updates to CCI.
+However, as discussed above since each product was so different this was not possible.
+
+## Decision
+We will remove and not add CCI references to the project.
+
+## Consequences
+There will be less information to users in reports.
+However, the information we have today is wrong, so this might be better overall.
