Being honest, I think that would further confuse application upstream
maintainers. They're already confused from the <applications> ->
<component> and appdata->metainfo changes. At some point you have to
decide if removing the old way of doing things is worth the pain of
migration, and I really don't think there is nearly enough
justification for renaming the desktop group.

I think just console is fine. If it's really a console (e.g. bash) I'm
skeptical why it needs a metainfo file at all.
