I noticed due to an upstream bug report for a project I am on that the Fedora 
packaging guidelines still say that GUI applications should install their files 
as appdata.xml files and not metainfo.xml files 
(https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AppData/). The 
upstream spec for the appstream says that everything should be installed as 
metainfo.xml files and there are no more appdata.xml files.

I found that there was an issue opened to the packaging committee a year ago 
(https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/944), but there has been no 
comment/follow-up since then. Should the Fedora guidelines be updated to match 
the current spec?
