Clarify Implications of Cargo Yank
What does this PR try to resolve?
I found the documentation for cargo yank
was not especially clear on the implications of yanking a crate, and I have seen this causing confusion within the community - https://github.com/tafia/quick-xml/issues/475.
On a somewhat related note, I have been observing lots more crates getting yanked recently and this is resulting in a fair amount of dependency upgrade busywork. I think/hope part of this is a documentation issue.
Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @ehuss (or someone else) soon.
Please see the contribution instructions for more information.
I think it would be useful to add an example here
If the implications are discussed, I think mentioning the usual course of action (publishing a semver-compatible release before yanking) would be nice as well.
