-  be specified in the `bases` field.
+  The `resources` field has been generalized; it
+  now accepts what formerly could only be
+  specified in the `bases` field.
 
   This change was made so that the `resources`,
   `generators` and `transformers` fields all
   accept the same argument format.
 
-  Each field's argument is a _string list_, where
-  each entry is either a _resource_ (a relative
-  path to a YAML file) or a [_kustomization_] (a
-  relative path or URL pointing to a directory
-  with a kustomization file).  A kustomization
-  directory used in this context is called a
-  [_base_].

+  > [_kustomization_] (a relative path or URL
+  > pointing to a directory with a kustomization
+  > file).  A kustomization directory used in this
+  > context is called a [_base_].
 
-  The `bases` field still works, but is no longer
-  necessary, and will likely be deprecated in the
-  next release.  The _base_ as a concept is as
-  important as ever, it's just that two new fields
-  (`generators` and `tranformers`) and one existing
-  field (`resources`) now accept arguments
-  that were once accepted only by `bases`.
+  The `bases` field still works, but is
+  deprecated.  Deal with this by simply moving the
+  arguments of the `bases` field to the
+  `resources` field in the desired order, e.g.
+
+  > ```
+  > resources:
+  > - someResouceFile.yaml
+  > - someOtherResourceFile.yaml
+  > bases:
+  > - ../../someBaseDir
+  > ```
+
+  could become
+
+  > ```
+  > resources:
+  > - someResouceFile.yaml
+  > - ../../someBaseDir
+  > - someOtherResourceFile.yaml
+  > ```
+  
+  The depth-first traversal order of items in the
+  `resources:` field is respected by
+  kustomize, allowing one to, say, process
+  `someBaseDir` between the two resource files.
+  See this discussion of
+  [the `build --reorder` flag](#resource-ordering).
