avoid that.
Comments ?
I agree with the sentiment, but, keep in mind that the current guidelines
don't go so far as to mandate vendor prefixes and that there are exceptions
to every rule.
Current Guidelines:
'''
{{{ Three examples, two of which show --vendor="<vendor_id>", one of
which shows --vendor="" }}}
* If upstream uses <vendor_id>, leave it intact, otherwise use fedora
as <vendor_id>.
* It is important that vendor_id stay constant for the life of a
package.
This is mostly for the sake of menu-editing (which bases off of
.desktop file/path names).

So this is confusing as to whether --vendor is mandatory or optional. I
can't think of a reason that we'd want to keep recommending --vendor if
both you and Rex are in favor of dropping it and we can figure out some
way to mitigate the customized menu issue.
