Not at all. If something as important as Krita didn't ship an AppData file in Fedora 22, we'd just write one ourselves and put it in the Fedora srpm file. I've written ~80 AppData files myself and sent nearly all of them upstream already. I've now got a few volunteers doing the same thing to all manner of upstreams. > Imho it's a matter of respect to discuss a standard beforehand with a > community. And this threat to exclude apps, well... Please don't portray me as a modern-day highwayman as I'm really just trying to build an awesome application installer for GNOME. It's two orders of magnitude harder to actually write a shared standard and ask other desktops to adopt it (making changes as required) rather than a quick hack that just works with one desktop on one distribution.
