 MaintainerNotes: |-
     We go back to targetSdk 25 so users can disable the foreground service (and
     annoying notification) if they choose to.
+    For 2.8.0 we replace the webrtc.aar with the latest M79 from maven, but
+    that won't be updated anymore so we'll need to start building locally in the future.
