-The property will never be removed from the saved data unless the form that the script is attached to gets deleted (which, in practice, will only happen with ObjectReferences that were created during gameplay). Papyrus warnings will be generated every time the save file (or any later saves from that playthrough) is loaded.
+The property will be removed from the saved data the next time the user saves. Papyrus warnings should not be generated again after that initial save.

-If a form which is provided by some plugin is added to a FormList by a script, and that plugin is removed or disabled between saving and reloading the game, then the affected entries in the FormList will not be removed, but will instead be relocated to the beginning of the list and changed to None.

A FormList's Revert() method will still remove these missing entries, however, just as it removes all script-added entries.
