[Bug 817749] Re: Software Center should only display apps in their most specific XDG subcategory

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Generally it's a bad idea for bug summaries to contain the word
"should". Usually there are multiple ways to fix a bug.

I don't have time to investigate this bug in detail right now, but it seems to be the same root cause as this:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2011-August/012027.html

Since the spec seems to be unmaintained, there's an opportunity for
someone to take over and relax the top-level category restrictions. How
those are then organized could then be left up to the client.
