(see also comment 7 about the > "unjust > burden")? To clarify, the goal is not to penalize users: quite the opposite. We want applications in the software installer to have good descriptions and screenshots to help the user decide if he wants to install the application. The status quo in F20 is that many apps have just a sentence fragment of description taken from the desktop file, which is not very helpful to users and makes our software center look bad. Hiding applications without good descriptions will improve the quality of the results we show, and also encourage Fedora packagers to add the descriptions. (If upstream doesn't want to add an appdata file, you can do so in your packaging!) Michael
