NPM has this policy to better handle accidental publishing.

@carols10cents did you mean to say "Allow deletion of crate versions"? At least that is what I would expect 😅

Well if you create the only version of a crate, then I think people would expect the entire crate would be deleted and available for someone else to claim again, right?

yes, that would be the consequence :)

I like this. For every package in the company we have publish = false in Cargo.toml for just in case.

I think it's a good idea. Pretty harmless. You can't be that invested in a crate if you just depended on it within 24 hours of publishing.
