The SLS was for over a decade the benchmark synchrotron facility regarding its performance relative to the theoretical optimal value, given the machine parameters. However, with the advent of a new-generation of storage rings, dubbed "diffraction-limited storage-rings" or DLSRs [1], it has become imperative to upgrade the SLS in a likewise manner. In this didactical talk, I will explain the background concepts of DLSRs and the approach adopted by the SLS [2]. This will be followed by examples of science at SLS that will profit most from the upgrade program.
