<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1425043817929_36746" dir="ltr">This would make more sense to me as a Change proposal, with all the process and publicity that comes with that. A change in Fedora like this is much greater than the actual implementation details; treating it like a minor gnome-software feature add isn't representative of the impact on the project.</div>
