 # Structure
 
 The general structure is driven by the usage of interfaces provided by objects. 
-The FSFW uses C++17 as baseline. Most modern compilers like GCC should have support for this
-standard, even for micocontrollers.
-
-The FSFW uses dynamic allocation during the initialization but provides static containers during
-runtime.This simplifies the instantiation of objects and allows the usage of some standard
-containers.  Dynamic Allocation after initialization is discouraged and different solutions are
-provided in the FSFW to achieve that. The fsfw uses run-time type information but will not throw
-exceptions.
