+This is the react specific babel preset for `@wpw/scripts`. It is based on `@babel/preset-react`.
+It doesn't inherit from `@wpw/base`, so make sure to include it in your babel config.

-### `presetBase`

-`object`, defaults to `{}`.
-
-This is passed directly to [`@wpw/babel-preset-base`](https://github.com/swashata/wp-webpack-script/tree/master/packages/babel-preset-base).
+#### Why all `@babel/preset-react` is wrapped inside a separate object?
 
-You can have a `.browserslistrc` file, which will be detected by it and used.
+Because, right now, I can not know whether this preset would require any standalone
+options for its own, like `@wpw/base`. So I think, it is best to separate react
+options in a separate hash. In future, if we need some other options, then it can
+be conflict free.
