<p>
Keep in mind that the new owner might develop your crate in a way you never intended it, or might completely
repurpose your crate. Transferring the crate to a malicious user could have a significant impact for any
existing users of your crate.</p>

<p>The crates.io team may delete crates from the registry that do not comply with the policies on this document. In
larger cases of squatting attacks this may happen without prior notification to the author, but in most cases the team
will first give the author the chance to justify the purpose of the crate.</p>
