"... it is recommended that providers of desktop-files ensure that all desktop-file ids start with a vendor prefix."</pre>

It will likely have significant impact on downstream distributions.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">What would be an appropriate forum for such a discussion? Certainly the few people on kde-frameworks-devel who showed any interest in the topic were in favour of the change. kde-packagers, maybe?
A quick look at my /usr/share/applications suggests that only KDE software uses a subdirectory. Other software seems to use filename prefixes (like gnome- and xfce-) when the software has a generic name (gnome-disks, xfce-settings-manager), but no prefix at all otherwise (Thunar and evolution, for example, have no prefix). Given how my distro (Archlinux) does things, these almost certainly reflect the upstream decisions of those projects.</pre>

Given that binaries are all installed in PREFIX/bin, and have to avoid
clashes, doing the same for desktop files is no great issue, and
installing into a subdirectory of applications/ just complicates matters
for client code that needs to refer to the desktop file (is it
"kde5-foo[.desktop]", "kde5/foo[.desktop]" or just "foo[.desktop]"?).</pre>
