I don't think we track everything the same way. At least...

... we don't have a way to track code that are maintained but no-one is 
paid.

IHMO, this is an important to track as a contributor should not expect 
the same level of support between someone that is paid for it and 
someone that is not.

I agree with Julien: What we express here is not really overlapping
with SUPPORT.md - the may be cases where this is so, but there are
also ones where it's not.
