I know it's cliche to bikeshed on names, but:

- "core" is already an overloaded word with too many meanings

- the apparmor project has had far too many people installing the
  apparmor-profiles-extra package without realizing the inconsistent
  quality of the profiles. I don't think "extra" conveys a strong enough
  feeling

I suggest gstreamer's approach: -good, -bad, and -ugly. It's a bit coarse,
maybe even rude, but I think it does a better job of answering the
question "do I want to rely on this?"

-supported imho gives a promise it can't keep: supported by whom? for how
long? mint users or pop_OS users probably won't get support for this
package from their respective communities, but -good -bad and -ugly still
describes our impressions of a package's maturity and suitability for use.

Thanks
