The current wording makes it sound like Expatriation only applies to Intentional Artifacts but the Council recently clarified that it also applies to Experiments. From [zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/392734-council/topic/Crate.20Ownership.20Policy.20Clarification/near/513732109) > Just to follow up here, the council discussed this today. Our > interpretation was that expatriation requires an rfc and council > approval regardless of its experimental or intentional status (and per > the policy, is generally discouraged). It may be possible to achieve > something similar by just forking the project and picking a new name, > but it sounds like you don't want to go down that route. Working on it > externally sounds like another alternative.

I'm going to just go ahead and approve on behalf of the council based on the discussion in meeting-2025-04-25 that we believe this is just a clarification. cc @rust-lang/leadership-council
