100% agree, I couldn't have said this better myself. The only way for
a standard to remain relevant and useful is to allow it to slowly
evolve.

Jerry: I didn't consider this would be insulting, and I'm really sorry
if it came across like that. I certainly wasn't aiming to ridicule
you, just to show an actual example. In this case I showed it's
clearly not a screenshot and just a resized thumbnail. Because another
screenshot is listed in the proofgeneral AppData file
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/screenshots/f22/source/proofgeneral-da9c07acd86cdb0fb302139636d2996f.png
that does look good and fits all the size criteria I didn't email you
directly.

...in his free time, in this case late on a Friday night. I do get
paid to hack on some of this stuff working at Red Hat, but a lot of
the more dull, time-consuming emailing and upstream bug-opening
happens in my spare time. I'm trying my best to make this work, and
I'm heartened to see the number of AppData-enabled applications is
going up nearly every day, with newly added applications
more-often-than-not having validated AppData files without any nagging
from me.
