The word "recognized" can also be an emotionally charged word to some.
It is similar (though softer) in tone to "approved."

Though "sponsored" has a current majority, perhaps we can reach
consensus with a bit more information:

What problem are we (or were we) trying to solve by labeling teams in
the first place? Can anyone provide a crisp problem statement? And, as a
thought experiment, what would the LoCo landscape look like if labels
were dropped altogether? Would it catalyze the creation of more teams?
More active teams?

Cheers,
Randall
