Yes, but the discussion above also implies that we have multiple naming
fields, and that gnome-software is currently using summary as it
("Currently gnome-software is using sumary or name instead of this
field.").

We should discuss the possibility of another field, per above note, but
let's please not use a summary as a display name meanwhile. This will
encourage people to put wrong data in the wrong field.

In terms of the proposal itself, would be good to have a conversation
about it considering the pros and cons. If we allow a free form name, we
may end up with multiple applications named exactly the same thing (for
above example, imagine 10 different "Calculator" applications). How much
better is this than having a single "calculator" application? Our whole
apt/deb story circles around applications with unique and well-defined
lowercased names. What are the benefits of breaking that?
