OK. I didn't mean to put bhyve in a "pillory" (I agree it would be
unfair), I just couldn't find better words for reflecting the separation
you asked for.

How about "S: Odd Fixes"? From:
S: Status, one of the following:
Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
much other than throw the odd patch in. See below.
Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
role as you write your new code].
Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
it has been replaced by a better system and you
should be using that.
Thanks
