Re: [sdd] [glossary] fix

[Julia McCarthy <julia@us.ibm.com>]

There is one more little thing nagging
me about this definition.  Is it really correct to talk about solving
a defect?  I think of solving problems and fixing or correcting defects.
 We probably don't want to use the word fix in the definition of fix.
 So we could talk about correcting defects or we could talk about
solving problems.  Like this:

A) A modification
to code or configuration that corrects one or more solution defects and
is deliverable to the solution's target hosting environment(s).

B) A modification
to code or configuration that solves one or more solution problems and
is deliverable to the solution's target hosting environment(s).
