I would actually like to go a little further, and make it easy to enable
'clean' third-party repositories. If we imagine a future where e.g.
valve is hosting a repository with their steam client, or say, the
chromium web browser is available from the a fedora people page, I would
really like it if searching for 'steam' or 'chromium' in gnome-software
would bring up a text that said something like: The software you are
looking for is available from a third-party repository. Do you want to
enable it ?
That was how I understood the original proposal. And that's the
conversation that needs to happen at a higher level outside of the WG
before it can really be a reality.
