Reading carefully about image deletion:

* "public images will only be removed from Docker Hub if their maintainer decides to delete them"

* "Public images will only disappear if the maintainer of the image decides to proactively delete it from Docker Hub. If the maintainer takes no action, we will continue to distribute their public images."

This sounds good, but it would be better to explicitly say "if you opt to let your free organization be suspended, Docker Hub will continue distributing your public images indefinitely anyway". It feels like there's a loophole here where if a public image comes to have no maintainer - because they abandoned its organization - then it no longer benefits from this assurance. That seems unlikely, but given how this change has been going so far, it's tough to give Docker the benefit of the doubt.

Would be worried that the old images will still be distributed, but if an open source maintainer needed to push an update (e.g. for security reasons) they'd need to sign up to the paid account
