support matrix: Linux MAINTAINERS file

	* '''Maintained''': maintained, probably only manually tested on the maintainer’s system		* '''Maintained''': maintained, probably only manually tested on the maintainer’s system
	* '''Unmaintained''': no maintainer, might not be on the newest version or broken because of updated dependencies		* '''Unmaintained''': no maintainer, might not be on the newest version or broken because of updated dependencies

			The [https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/b5c8314f0ebadb6d8a9789cb2d646cbef8448073/MAINTAINERS#L92 <code>MAINTAINERS</code> file] of the Linux kernel has the following categories:

			<code><pre>
			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			it has been replaced by a better system and you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.
			</pre></code>

			Especially the “there’s somebody paid to maintain this subsystem” label is an idea we should incorporate.

			Note: grahamc [https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/25#issuecomment-369589272 mentioned (via peti)] that SUSE uses a <code>ring-0</code>, <code>ring-1</code>, … naming for the different support levels, which we should adopt [https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/25#issuecomment-369395221 to not introduce any more confusion in nix(pkgs/OS) naming].

			Support Levels:
	* '''full''': always tested, up-to-date, backported and release blocker		* '''full''': always tested, up-to-date, backported and release blocker
	* '''support''': tested and actively maintained, backported		* '''support''': tested and actively maintained, backported
	* '''ask''': ~~depends~~ on the maintainer and package ~~what~~ guarantees ~~are given~~		* '''ask''': guarantees given depend on the maintainer and package
			** adding/re-purposing meta attributes to indicate guarantees might be a good idea
	* '''none''': not maintained (but might still be useful and is therefore not deleted)		* '''none''': not maintained (but might still be useful and is therefore not deleted)

			Support Tiers:
	* '''Core''': Small (low three-digit) number of packages maintained by active core team		* '''Core''': Small (low three-digit) number of packages maintained by active core team
	* '''Extended Core''': less vital packages maintained by active maintainers		* '''Extended Core''': less vital packages maintained by active maintainers

			* '''full''': always tested, up-to-date, backported and release blocker
			* '''support''': tested and actively maintained, backported
			* '''ask''': depends on the maintainer and package what guarantees are given
			* '''none''': not maintained (but might still be useful and is therefore not deleted)

			* '''Core''': Small (low three-digit) number of packages maintained by active core team
			* '''Extended Core''': less vital packages maintained by active maintainers
			** About the same level as Archlinux core packages
			** Stuff like e.g. <code>KDE</code> goes here
			* '''Supported''': actively maintained by wider community, (automatically) tested on core systems [, backported]
			* '''Maintained''': maintained, probably only manually tested on the maintainer’s system
			* '''Unmaintained''': no maintainer, might not be on the newest version or broken because of updated dependencies
