+# What? |
+ |
+The contents of base have moved to rtc_base. |
+ |
+# Why? |
+ |
+We want to move all the contents in the webrtc directory to top-level, because: |
+* When we migrate from Rietveld to PolyGerrit we won't be able to apply WebRTC |
+patches on Chromium trybots (which is a very useful feature, especially as we |
+plan to have such trybots in our default trybot set). |
+This is because PolyGerrit needs the repo in Chromium to be the same as the |
+WebRTC repo, otherwise it won’t be able to apply the patch. |
+* To fully automate rolling into Chromium DEPS, we wish to use the LKGR finder, |
+but doing so is blocked on this (needs the same revision hashes to avoid ugly |
+hacks). See [this bug](http://crbug.com/666726). |
