tools/crates/gnrt/removed_crate.md
In some circumstances tools/crates/run_gnrt.py vendor will not vendor an
actual crate. When Chromium doesn't really depend on a given crate, then a
placeholder crate will be generated instead. This typically happens when
either:
tools/crates/gnrt/condition.rs)gnrt, guppy, and cargo)gnrt_config.toml asked to remove the crate (e.g. via
remove_crates entry of gnrt_config.toml)gnrt generates a placeholder crate, because otherwise cargo metadata,
cargo tree, and other cargo commands wouldn't work.
