Joining this discussion late (I plead "FOSDEM"), but I want to chime in on
this -- I do agree, and think that making that better should be a focus.
Not only will this make things better on Fedora Silverblue (and others), but
it also is a way we can expand our reach -- we can bring the benefits of
distro packaging (with, you know, guidelines and policies and transparency
and so on) to people who might be running a different distro underneath.
(And then hopefully coax them over entirely. I mean, if they want. No
pressure.)
I already know of a couple of distros considering using Fedora
Flatpaks over Flathub for three reasons:
1. All OSS
2. Transparent build
3. Multi-arch
