This really looks ok. It would be useful to anyone offering software for
Fedora instead of only to a small list of proprietary vendors.

Maybe in some cases those URLs can even point to something that's not
necessarily specific to a single distribution. For now, it could be just
different sections for RPM and Debian repos with Gnome Software choosing
depending on what kind of system it's running on.

This also seems to be approximately what openSUSE's One Click Install
does:
