+
+## Summary
+
+The default behaviour of VPA Updater is to evict Pods when new resource
+recommendations are available. This works fine for most cases.
+A problem that can arise is when there are multiple replicas and a
+PodDisruptionBudget (PDB) which allows one disruption. Now the eviction is at
+risk, because as soon as multiple replicas run into for example the memory
+limit and get killed they will never recover as the eviciton API will not allow
+any further disruptions.
+
+This proposal addresses the problem by allowing users to enable the deletion of
+pods as a backup if the eviction fails.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The motivation behind the change is to give VPA users a way to recover a
+failing deployment, if updated/increased limits would solve the problem.
+
+### Goals
+
+- Main: allow cluster administrators to enable deletion of pods
+- Secondary: configurable deletion threshold to tune the deletion behaviour
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+- Get rid of or work around the existing eviction behaviour
+
+## Proposal
+
+The proposal is to add `--experimental-deletion` to the VPA to enable deletion
+of pods. Currently only as an experimental, or beta feature.
+To add a bit of configuration an additional an additional flag,
+`--experimental-deletion-threshold`, should be addedd.
+
+## Design Details
+
+Suggested implementation is present in [PR
+4898](https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/pull/4898).
+
+### Test Plan
+
+Add unit tests that cover the new code paths.
+
+## Implementation History
+
+- 2022-05-19: initial version
+
+## Alternatives
+
+### Update the eviction API
+
+Instead of implementing this change on the client side, the VPA in this case,
+it could be implemented on the API side. This would have the advantage that it
+would work for all clients. On the other hand this would introduce breaking
+behaviour and most likely would result in a new api version.
+
+Also according to some discussions the general stance seems to be:
+If you don't like the drain/evict behaviour, just use delete.
