Clarify the purpose of this repository

Browse Source 
Over time, we encounter people who have reused contents from this
repository for their own systems, and would like to collaborate with
us to make changes which ease their external use case. While
extremely flattering, that's not the intent of our publishing of the
files here, and accepting changes to it which support use cases
other than our own represents additional risk to our production
services.

Update the introduction and contributing sections of the README file
in order to explain that such changes will be rejected by our
reviewers.

improvements to the systems it runs. This repository is not intended as
a reconsumable project on its own, and anyone wishing to adjust it to
suit their own needs should do so with a fork. The system-config

remember that this repository consists of configuration and
orchestration for OpenDev Collaboratory production systems, so
contributions to it will be evaluated on the basis of whether they're

contents more easily reusable outside OpenDev itself are not in scope,
