Where do you see that upstream does not want rDNS naming? They docs I am
reading explicitly say it is required.
“Upstream projects can ship one or more metainfo files in /usr/share/metainfo/%
{id}.metainfo.xml, where id is a unique identifier of this specific component.”
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#spec-component-location
“The ID must follow a reverse-DNS scheme, consisting of {tld}.{vendor}.
{product}, for example org.kde.gwenview or com.hugski.colorhug2. Ownership of
{vendor}.{tld} in the domain name system guarantees uniqueness of IDs.”
