My take away from the discussion so far is that the current board
would not accept
anything that 'automates' access to such external software. Doesn't matter if
we ship
the metadata on the ISO or not.
Did they define 'automates'? Is there a required level of pain that we
have to make the user go through? At the moment it's just "type chrome
into google; click an rpm; input your password". I don't see how
that's any harder than "type a chrome into the software center; click
install; agree to the EULA; input your password".
The only thing that I can see flying with the current board is a
system that is 'blind' to what it is offering, just like
a web browser.
So perhaps when the user clicks install, it just opens the browser to
something like
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ ? --
that's perfectly doable right now, but the UX would be pretty, well,
unusual.
