 information about the behavior.
 
+Includes active crypto backend in the build info accessible in the
+binary, for example by "go version -m". This makes it easy to determine
+which backend is being used by a compiled Go program no matter which
+GOEXPERIMENT or build tag was used to enable it.
+
 Includes new tests in "build_test.go" and "buildbackend_test.go" to help
 maintain this feature. For more information, see the test files.
