 17. Building with hash-sigs lib for LMS/HSS support [EXPERIMENTAL]
 
     Using LMS/HSS requires that the hash-sigs lib has been built on
-    your system. At present we support the current master branch of
+    your system. We support hash-sigs lib at this git commit:
-    the hash-sigs project.

+    At the time of writing this, this is the HEAD of the master
+    branch of the hash-sigs project.
 
     Currently the hash-sigs project only builds static libraries:
       - hss_lib.a: a single-threaded static lib.
