I see! I think this makes sense in general, think of stuff like
org.python.python2 or a bunch of other projects that its developers
want to mark as explicitly dead.

So, like this:
https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/f0c9f9a405688a27d8a673f42d6837af3cd9e39a
and
https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/3eed419aa8646cdafd507aaf6bc0e5a76e8e6846

(comments welcome!)

Cheers,
