There's actually a whole load of reasons why we'd blacklist
applications:
https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib#guidelines-for-applications
for instance programs that identify themselves as "settings" or apps
that haven't had an upstream release in 5 years
don't get me wrong but "haven't had an upstream release in 5 years"
is a silly reasoning - if an application works and has the feature
set it was intended to provide upstream needs to open the changelog
type there "to make some distribution clown happy", raise the version
number and the maintainer in the distribution too has useless work?
