Interesting.
We need to think and see how (and if) to integrate it with the desktop
fedora experience. I wouldn't want gnome-software searching in all of these
automatically.
Unless we get COPRs with proper metadata (an archive of all the appdata
files they contain, perhaps) and meaningful description, I can't see a way
for us to implement a good enough UI to browse and enable those from within
the desktop environment.
