addresses #32, I've annotated Quota Operator with a description based on comments by @ckemper67 in the issues

Sorry about the whitespace diffs... viewing the "rich diff" will show just the added text:

Since quota is often used for cost control, this may imply a different persona with financial, rather than an engineering background.

An important use of quota is to protect a service from abuse. By setting a quota, we can ensure that a single individual or group cannot bring down the service for everybody else (either intentionally or unintentionally). For example, services may lack sufficient protections (such as exponential backoff) and a simple quota enforcement in front of the service can reduce the impact of repeated request on the rest of the infrastructure.
