First time I've seen "s12y" (sustainability) and while I'm usually averse to new buzzwords I quite like the association with "i18n" (internationalization) and "a11y" (accessibility).

Somehow feels like the trinity of responsible software ("responsible" probably isn't the right word here).

Thanks for providing this context. I didn't know s12y stood for sustainability, and I also only now realized that the number in e.g. i18n is the number of letter omitted (and not leet speak or some "sk8er"-like abbreviation).
A framework of responsible software isn't complete unless it includes security (s6y?), given the rampant breaches, data theft, and cyber war these days.
I disagree. Responsible software is something opted into. As engineers, security should be a requirement. It should go without saying.

I agree with you, I just don't think your stance is radical enough :D

Maybe r9e s6e?
