+By default molecule runs just default scenario. To run specific one ``-s <scenario name>``
+option must be used. The only subcommands supporting ``--all`` switch for playing with
+all scenarios are ``test`` and ``destroy``. If using other ones ``-s`` must be used.

+The cross-scenario code reuse paradigm should be rather implemented inside particular
+scenario's ``molecule.yml`` file than by using filesystem symlinks. All provisioner
