That doesn't quite answer my question. You've written something that could guide the humans designing and implementing a featured/supported system, and broadly, I agree with the distinction you wrote. However, the system is already designed and running. The design goals that we hold may have drifted significantly in practice as multiple people work on the same system.

Players don't care much about the theoretical distinction between featured and supported. They just care about the kinds of maps that they are automatically presented with or able to manually pick in various situations. The map tags are mostly internal features, the various map selection systems are the primary user-facing systems in this area.

As I understand it, when @DeinFreund added supported maps to the endgame map poll he removed the most important practical distinctions between the featured and supported tags. With this state of knowledge I have trouble answering the question "should it be featured?" because such a question seems vacuous - I don't think it will have any effect on the experience of players. That is why my question would be better phrased "What is the technical distinction between Featured and Supported?".

I also don't know what the current poll actually means, although I can see it is meant to be some sort of popularity contest.
