+libc++'s ABI Guarantees
+=======================
+
+libc++ provides multiple types of ABI guarantees. These include stability of the layout of structs, the linking of TUs
+built against different versions and configurations of the library, and more. This document describes what guarantees
+libc++ provides in these different areas as well as what options exist for vendors to affect these guarantees.
+
+Note that all of the guarantees listed below come with an asterisk that there may be circumstances where we deem it
+worth it to break that guarantee. These breaks are communicated to vendors by CCing #libcxx-vendors on GitHub. If you
+are a vendor, please ask to be added to that group to be notified about changes that potentially affect you.
+
+ABI flags
+=========
+All the ABI flags listed below can be added to the ``__config_site`` header by the vendor to opt in to an ABI breaking
+change. These flags should never be set by the user. When porting libc++ to a new platform it should be considered by
+the vendor which flags should be enabled, assuming ABI stability is relevant to them. Please contact the libc++ team on
