I've been working in open source software for over a decade, most of that time working for Red Hat maintaining my packages in Fedora and RHEL. I've put significant amounts of work and personal time into making installing software easier. I like to believe software should be managed as a meritocracy, where the people doing all the hard work get to decide the direction a project gets to go. > there are likely users who love it longer than you appeared with the appdata > idea at all and install, upgrade it with no need for any shiny interface Sure, I'm not taking applications away from users. I'm saying that we need to raise the bar on application quality. If you want to be in the club, you have to play by the rules[1].
