Subject: [cip-dev] Super Long Term ... Support or Maintenance?

Hi,

I am writing a description for the wiki and this topic came to my mind. 
It is just a detail...

I would like to propose that we say "maintenance" instead of "support" 
when referring to the activities we will do in the open within the CIP 
group.

Support has a specific meaning in the commercial world. It is referred 
to a "service". In order to gain traction in the industry, the confusion 
between maintenance and support plays against us.

In the Open Source world, both words are used indistinctly so I do not 
expect any issue by using only (mostly) maintenance.

So we would say Super Long Term Maintenance (SLTM).

Best Regards
