Allow deletion of crates within 24 hours of publishing

[carols10cents]

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 😅

[carols10cents]

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?

[Turbo87]

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.

• crates.io: Crate Deletions rfcs#3660 is open now to adjust our policies to allow this

[Turbo87]

the above RFC has been accepted and merged, and #9352 is now open as a tracking issue for the implementation. since this is essentially a duplicate of this issue I'll close this one now in favor of the official tracking issue :)
