Richard, do you realize how you sound like?
"Nice application you have there, would be a shame if something would...
happen to it."
Imho it's a matter of respect to discuss a standard beforehand with a
community. And this threat to exclude apps, well...
Also, using this as a sign of quality is not really helpful. Something
like counting the commits in the last x months would be much more
significant.
Personally, I think it's a good idea to have something like AppData, but
as a way to let an application present itself, not as something
applications are forced to use.
