As I understand it, it's a libappstream-kind-thing that takes the xml
files as inputs and exposes a GObject API. gnome-software doesn't use
this right now, but might in the future. At the moment large parts of
gnome-software are performance critical, and that includes loading the
XML files, so it would need some careful profiling before even
considering this as a dep.
