We could go the SuSa route and call it the BACON window, for BAckports and CONfigs

hmm, What about B&C? Similar when we call "Trust and Safety" as "T&S"

I think we need some shorter version to refer to this window. New name is cool, but swat is shorter.

Hello everyone,
Until today if you wanted to get a backport or config change deployed to production you used what was termed the "SWAT" window.
As of today that window of time is now called the "Backport and Config" window. This solves a few problems. First, the overly militarized and violence-implying name is no longer something we want in our community. Second, this now accurately and clearly describes what the purpose of the window is.
This should now be changed everywhere including the Deployment Calendar[0], but if you see any errant mentions of it in documentation, please feel free to update it (WP:BOLD) or contact the Wikimedia Release Engineering Team.
Thank you,
Greg
