+1 for defining what the different words mean. I think that's one of the problems in this thread is that different words mean different things to different people.

So a bundle could be regularly updated, and patched, by >committers including the PMC but not "Supported" because it is not something >that the PMC as a whole has committed too. Is that right? I'll throw "community" and/or "community supported" into the ring for consideration as well. For those bundles that aren't supported. - Jason On Tue, Sep 18, 2018, at 8:49 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: > On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 11:37 AM Robert Munteanu <romb...@apache.org> wrote: > > ...Maybe 'unsupported' is a more expressive term than 'contrib'? > > (Although it might be scarier)... > > It's more precise, I agree, but I would argue that those modules are > not actually unsupported, they are supported, but only on a best > effort, irregular basis. > > If we don't want contrib, "Optional" might be a good name?
