I am not sure about a name instead of "normal" for the option. Alternative name ideas for the option are

Thanks for the suggestions, but I think they somewhat miss the point in one way
or another ^^;
As I was already saying in my reply to José Valim, I think it might be better to rename the sup flag to something like
"auto_shutdown", and rename "normal" to "never". This way, it would be clearer as to what
the option refers (_automated_ shutdown, as opposed to shutdown of any sort), and "never" would be clearer in
that it declares to _never_ do an _automated_ (self-) shutdown.
The "auto_shutdown" = "never" approach is a good way to make it clear
that the supervisor is part of a static hierarchy and would only stop
due to MaxR or manual manipulation (e.g., a supervisor:stop function if
it was added).
Thanks,
Michael
