Your mail was full of personal attacks on me and other gnome-software / appstream developers. As such I am not going to respond to any of the points you raised. Goodbye.

Hi, The AppData metadata includes simple XML files with app descriptions, and a tarball of app icons. They can be distributed in the rpmfusion-free-release and rpmfusion-nonfree-release packages and will only add a couple more megabytes. from the user's point of view, even if it is only "a
