I'm also worried about lifecycle issues here. What if some popular

At the moment the design goal is saying that doesn't matter so it'll keep on running. There's no arbitrary method of disqualifying a Flatpak package, e.g. with some kind of versioning method --> Flatpak 2 on Fedora could support Flatpak 1 and 2 package applications, or it could refuse to run Flatpak 1. 


For that matter, are all Flatpak applications going to be third party?
I've been assuming that we'll have a way to package software in this
way *within Fedora*. Having a large application ecosystem is key, and
honestly, I don't see that as likely without our _own_ effort.

Exactly.
