Crates can be removed soon after publishing or if they are not widely
used (impact is minimal)

Thanks for the pull request 🎉!
Please read the contribution guide: https://doc.crates.io/contrib/.

What does this PR try to resolve?

People are confusing when the actual behavior contradicts the documented one:

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1towtbg/why_did_the_nagami_crate_disappear_from_cratesio/oo4k75j/

How to test and review this PR?

No testing. Well, harper is still complaining about passive voice all over the place. But I checked the text carefully I guess.

For my self, I'd rather not get into the exact details.I might even just say "generally permament". If there is a non-RFC policy document we can link to that would be great. I'd prefer to avoid linking to the RFC because those aren't living documents.

Sure. Changed text to say that with a link to a package ownership policy.
