Is "Maintain" a type of pipeline stage or a type of pipeline?
I originally had this as a pipeline stage:
Maintain Stage
- Semantics: Automatically update or upgrade previously built software. May invoke some or all of the previous stages.
- Aliases: Update, Upgrade
- Inputs: See Above
- Outputs: See Above
- Other Results and Side Effects: Updated documentation and software built, tested, released and deployed. This stage can also update source code repositories, for example, with new Declared Dependencies or Baseline/Composition Information.
But then m-linner-ericsson correctly pointed out that this is not like the others: https://github.com/cdfoundation/sig-interoperability/pull/76#discussion_r787743727
Does this really belong in a different doc where we have examples of different types of pipelines?
From eBay's perspective, we treat "maintain" as a separate pipeline that runs parallel (or perhaps feeds into?) the normal pipeline.
