Yep, that is the primary(only?) motivation for keeping
dir+vendor+desktop_file_name constant.
What do you think?
I agree with your sentiments. Package maintainers need to weigh the
pros/cons of continuing the use of --vendor=fedora. If you feel the
advantages of dropping it outweigh the disadvantage of possibly breaking
users' customized menus, I see no problem with that.
