+### "Orphaned" Charts
+
+Not all charts tracked in `charts/` and `assets/` will have a corresponding entry in `packages/`,
+but all charts tracked in `packages/` must exist in `charts/` and `assets/` to pass a `make validate`.
+
+Some situations that would merit "orphaned" charts include, but are not limited to:
+- Charts that are no longer in active development (e.g. deprecated charts, older versions of released charts)
+- Charts that are forward-ported / backward-ported over from other Helm repositories
+
+Note: as long as it doesn't modify an already released version of a chart (which will be checked on a `make validate`),
+you can always bring back a previously removed package to the `packages/` directory to move it back to active development.

 ### Configuration
