 # meteor-platform
 
-This package is added to every app by `meteor create`. It includes a set of common packages that most Meteor apps will find useful, such as `webapp`, `tracker`, `session`, `ddp`, `mongo` and `blaze`. From the command line, you can run `meteor show meteor-platform` to see the full list of implied packages.
+This package used to be added to every app by `meteor create`, but is now deprecated in favor of `meteor-base` and a carefully chosen set of other packages.
 
-These packages make up the official [Meteor Platform](https://www.meteor.com/projects). See the README of each individual package to learn more about it.
+See the PR here with the discussion: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/pull/4851
 
-This package was previously known as [standard-app-packages](https://atmospherejs.com/meteor/standard-app-packages).
