Let me second that: 

`xreader` "earns" the place just after `evince` by inheritance:

* for people using the XFCE, Cinnamon, or MATE desktop, `xreader` replaces
  `evince` (same functionality, traditional UI),
  
* KDE and GNOME users will not see any difference, as the respective viewers
  have higher priority.  

* most other users will not be disturbed, because
  nothing changes if the "X-Apps" are not installed at the users system.

* for the rare case of users that did not have evince but now install
  `xreader`, the change is more likely intended than not.
