I think OTP has always been more than the standard libraries and included applications. To my understanding, OTP is the whole concept of how to build an Erlang application using supervisor trees
process behaviors and releases, possibly providing a soft upgrade and making your design fault-tolerant and scalable by using the building blocks wisely. I think you should think of OTP as a brand and the original meaning of the abbreviation is historical and no longer relevant.
