In Fedora, we've had the issue where some desktop files were incorrectly shipped with a vendor prefix. Due to the fact that the file name often is used as a key, we then are 'stuck' with either maintaining the bad vendor prefix indefinitely (potentially incompatibly with other distributors or upstreams), or changing the vendor prefix (breaking edited menus, user shortcuts, and so on.).
One solution would be to have implementations be tolerant of vendor changes in desktop file names - if they don't find a file with the vendor prefix, to try again without the vendor prefix. Is this something that's worth adding as a recommendation for implementations via XDG, or are there better solutions?
