Do you have a viable alternative name for projects that people just want to release without fully supporting them? Until then most people will keep calling them open source. The term open source has always had a vague meaning that has covered many different types of projects that the creator doesn't get paid for (ex. free as in beer vs. free as in speech). Instead of trying to change the word's definition you might be more effective in coming up with another "free as in X" phrase to denote a project whose creators plan to offer support.
