This doesn't add any uses in base and doesn't link to any bug that explains what
this is for. As base/owners says, we try not to add more stuff to base if we can
help it.

I'm working on http://crbug.com/571906 for which I will generate non-colliding
filenames. I am planning to generate 5 bytes of randomness and then base32
encode them to get an 8 character random filename. Would you like me to
reference that bug in the CL description?

rs-lgtm for deleting components/base32 and for chrome/installer side-effects.
Leaving it up to Nico whether base/ wants this.

deferring to thakis (or any other base owner)

Yes please, and mention the plan in CL description. (cl descriptions, like
comments, should answer "why?" not just "what?")

Wondering what the status of this CL is?

[grt (UTC plus 2), 2017-04-19 13:52:13]

I'm still planning on getting back to
https://codereview.chromium.org/2545283002/ (which needs this) some day. I'm
happy to land it now if you have another need for it.
