In other words, it's not possible to inspect a binary flatpak without installing it. With RPMs, I can check what files will land on my system and where, and also see what the scriptlets do. I can also extract and inspect individual files. Am I missing something and worrying unnecessarily that I can't do the same with flatpaks?
