is Trisquel 8 going to explicitly support appImages?
for the sake of clarity I am talking about this:
http://appimage.org/

Trisquel 7 does support it (I tested it) but I could not find any talks about appImages on these forums so I am not sure that Trisquel developers know about appImage packaging format :)

more specifically, I'd like to know if Trisquel 8 will give appImage files permission to be executed as a program by default? Trisquel 7 does not do it but Ubuntu MINT 16.04 does it and it seems rather convenient to me, for example I was able to boot Ubuntu from USB stick on computer (that has windows installed on it), downloaded appImage of LibreOffice and double-click it to run it, despite the fact that appImage file was on NTFS partition (NTFS does not support linux permissions for files so file has to be on ext or other "native to linux" partition to change these permissions)

also is there a way to set Trisqul 7 (and 8) so that it will give "run as application" permission to appImage files by default?
