That would indeed not scale for cases where appdata are not relevant
(others spins, server, headless multimedia, etc).
I would like to avoid such miss-design where we would need to split
into rpmfusion-*-release-workstation or other products. It would just
move the problem without fixing it.

At which point it would be just easier to add the complementary
appdata packages to install along the rpmfusion-*-release packages
from our "Configuration" page.

One other method is to use Groups. The rpmfusion*-appdata files could
be added to the appropriate comps group. That way it will be a matter
to update the group after the releases packages are installed.
This is similar than what can be done for multimedia with a "dnf
groupupdate Multimedia". It would need to be updated manually (which I
beleive was done automatically with earlier release but it's not the
point anymore).
