+## Support Open-Source Software - Give Thanks!
+We have included the awesome `symfony/thanks` composer package as a dev
+dependency. Let your OS package maintainers know you appreciate them by starring
+the packages you use. Simply run composer thanks after installing this package.
+(And not to worry, since it's a dev-dependency it won't be installed in your
+live environment.)
