When publishing new code to a production environment, there is always the chance that you need to swap back to the previous release, if flaws or bug occur. Releases that are stable and in no need for a immediate swap back to previous release can be called "sticky-releases" as they are not swapped back, and linger on in production.
DevOps rant: "When did you last see John developer create a sticky-release?"
Developer to DevOps "Trust me, this is a sticky-release."
