05:58 <  fidencio> kalev: hughsie: hey/morning! is "Software" supposed
to contain command line utilities? (asking because we are trying
                   to decide whether makes sense to provide the
appdata for remote-viewer only or for remote-viewer _and_ virt-viewer)
05:59 <   hughsie> fidencio, nope, it's a stated non-goal:
https://github.com/hughsie/appstream-glib#what-is-an-application
05:59 <   hughsie> there is some upstream murmering about adding
command line apps, but i think it's really a slippery slope
06:00 <   hughsie> fidencio, what might make sense sometimes is for
the cli helpers to be "addons" to the main application
06:00 <   hughsie> but i don;t think that's what you're talking about
with virt-viewer
06:01 <  fidencio> hughsie: yeah, that's not the case. thanks a lot
for the answer, hughsie!

So, no, having virt-viewer doesn't make sense.
I didn't check whether we fit all the criteria mentioned by Richard in
the link he shared or not.
