zlib is included in both freedesktop-sdk and also GNOME runtimes, so
nobody should need to bundle it.

The problem I see in these conversations are:

1. What is a flatpak and what does it mean to have an application in it? Is it everything bundled in it or does it use layers?
2. So there are these 'SDKs' that people mention? What is in them? How are they built? How are they updated? Who maintains them and how can we 'verify' in the 'trust and verify' method (aka source code, build flags, build system).

I think a FAQ around these and others would probably cut down a lot of the uncertainty and doubt people feel.
