+### Relationship to other top-level directories in // |
+ |
+Services can be thought of as integrators of library code from across the |
+Chromium repository, most commonly //base and //mojo (obviously) but for each |
+service also //components, //ui, etc in accordance with the functionality they |
+provide. |
+ |
+Not everything in //components is automatically a service in its own right. |
+Think of //components as sort of like a //lib. Individual //components can |
+define, implement and use mojom interfaces, but only //services have unique |
+identities with the Mojo Shell. |
