+// TODO: Remove this module when the import is removed from the React renderers.
+
+// This module is used by React to initialize the React Native runtime,
+// but it is now a no-op.
+
+// This is redundant because all React Native apps are already executing
+// `InitializeCore` before the entrypoint of the JS bundle
+// (see https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/e1da64317a1178c2b262d82c2f14210cdfa3ebe1/packages/cli-plugin-metro/src/tools/loadMetroConfig.ts#L93)
+// and importing it unconditionally from React only prevents users from
+// customizing what they want to include in their apps (re: app size).
