+# Possible states of provider packages
+
+The provider packages can be in one of several states.
+
+* The `ready` state the provider package is released as part of the regular release cycle (including the
+  documentation, package building and publishing). This is the default state for all providers.
+* The `not-ready` state is when the provider has `not-ready` field set to `true` in the `provider.yaml` file.
+  This is usually used when the provider has some in-progress changes (usually API changes) that we do not
+  want to release yet as part of the regular release cycle. Providers in this state are excluded from being
+  released as part of the regular release cycle (including documentation building). You can build and prepare
+  such provider when you explicitly specify it as argument of a release command or by passing
+  `--include-not-ready-providers` flag in corresponding command. The `not-ready` providers are treated as
+  regular providers when it comes to running tests and preparing and releasing packages in `CI` - as we want
+  to make sure they are properly releasable any time and we want them to contribute to dependencies and we
+  want to test them.
+* The `suspended` state is when the provider has `suspended` field set to `true` in the `provider.yaml` file.
+  This is used when we have a good reason to suspend such provider, following the devlist discussion and
+  vote or "lazy consensus". The process of suspension is described in [Provider's docs](../PROVIDERS.rst).
+  The `suspended` providers are excluded from being released as part of the regular release cycle (including
+  documentation building) but also they do not contribute dependencies to the CI image and their tests are
+  not run in CI process. You can build and prepare such provider when you explicitly specify it as argument
+  of a release command or by passing `--include-suspended-providers` flag in corresponding command (but it
+  might or might not work at any time as the provider release commands are not regularly run on CI for the
+  suspended providers). The `suspended` providers are not released as part of the regular release cycle.
+* The `removed` state is when the provider is marked as `removed` - usually after some period of time being
+  `suspended`. This is a temporary state after the provider has been voted (or agreed in "lazy consensus") to
+  be removed and it is only used for exactly one release cycle - in order to produce the final version of
+  the package - identical to the previous version with the exception of the removal notice. The process
+  of removal is described in [Provider's docs](../PROVIDERS.rst).  The `removed` providers are included in
+  the regular release cycle (including documentation building) because the `--include-removed-providers`
+  flag is passed to commands that release manager runs (see below). The difference between `suspended`
+  and `removed` providers is that additional information is added to their documentation about the provider
+  not being maintained any more by the community.
+
+This graph shows the possible transitions between the states:
