I have a few questions / concerns with this proposal, primarily these two:

1. I wonder if this might be a possible source of confusion /
frustration for users. Examples:
- "Why are my local search results not showing application X from flathub?"
- "Why can't I install application X when I have flathub repo enabled?
It is listed on the flathub website."

2. How is the replacement with unfiltered flathub remote implemented?
Looking at the instructions on flathub.org, this adds a new remote
with the "--if-not-exists" flag.
If the remote already exists, wouldn't that command just do nothing,
and leave the filtered, existing remote in place?
Is this done with ugly hard-coded non-upstreamable hackery in the
"flatpak remote-add" command on Fedora? I hope not ...
