What about long-term fixes which are not "hot"? Currently, I'm doing something like feature/1234-fix-inmate-updating, maybe we can have a fix namespace? So fix/1234-inmate-updating.

These prefixes aim to describe the flow for the branch more than its' content. Hotfix branches - are for emergency cases and may have a shorter or quicker delivery path, while feature branches follow the regular flow.
