For the same reason as pirut and pup were replaced. Fedora is *not* a
big enough ecosystem to drive fully localized and feature rich user
experiences.
This would be a more compelling argument if PK was significantly better
than pirut/yumex/etc.
But version 2, which is in progress now, features application
screenshot previews (that ubuntu wanted) and application ratings
(which we all wanted). Having an extensible format allows us to add
the features in a cross-distro way without re-inventing schemas and
UI.
Are you having any discussions about applications like postfix, or is
version 2 going to be just GUI stuff?
I assume you have a plan for making this repodata, but I couldn't find
it, is there a URL?
