** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Ubuntu 16.04 is running a version of gnome-software based on 3.20.1 which is 
an older stable release (latest stable release is 3.20.5). The Ubuntu changes 
were managed in a git branch that is difficult to manage. We have not been able 
to bring in all the stable changes to this branch and it is difficult to 
modify. We have rebased our changes on 3.20.5 [1] and propose these as a Stable 
Release Update.

  [Test Case]
  1. Run GNOME Software
+ 2. Execute the test plan 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/gnome-software
  
  Expected result:
  Running latest stable release, no regressions from 3.20.1
  
  Observed result:
  Running older release.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Due to the number of changes there is a risk of regression. These changes are 
all on a stable branch, so upstream considers them to be safe. We ran this 
version from a PPA to check for issues, and there don't seem to be any problems.
