Archiving means that the project is no longer supported by CNCF (for whatever reason, TOC is empowered to make that decision), similar to how the Apache Attic works or Eclipse Foundation archiving process.

I'll reply to your comment on GitHub but an action item would be to define the archiving process as we haven't had to use it yet.

+1, binding

As a co-author of this doc I want to endorse the direction as strongly
as possible.  If you feel you may want to vote -1, please do so, but
ideally so that we can improve the doc.

Keep voting, people, please!
