[trustable-software] Another straw man...

[Chaiken, Alison]

The direction this effort is going is admirable, but the termination of
the pipeline at 'deployment' surprises me.   Shouldn't ongoing support,
at least in the form of bug fixes and security patches, be a necessary
aspect of trustability?   Purchasers of software for safety-critical
devices commonly expect 10 years of support, at least as part of a
contract.   Is support outside of the scope of the discussion?
