Expand Up @@ -93,3 +93,11 @@ Our minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is encoded in our `Cargo.toml` file.
We consider an increase in MSRV to be a semver-breaking change, and will only
increase our MSRV during semver-breaking version changes (e.g., 0.1 -> 0.2, 1.0
-> 2.0, etc).

## Yanking

Whenever a bug or regression is identified, we will yank any affected versions
which are part of the current version train. For example, if the most recent
version is 0.10.20 and a bug is uncovered, we will release a fix in 0.10.21 and
yank all 0.10.X versions which are affected. We *may* also yank versions in previous
version trains on a case-by-case basis, but we don't guarantee it.

Do we have a policy of when we should do the yanking? Immediately? Or after making the fix?

Presumably after a fix has been published, but I'm not sure we need to go into that level of detail in this policy.
