Yes, this makes sense. One thing I want to try when I've got more data
is to use the stats from the ODRS review system and try to extract
some patterns, e.g. users that install gimp.desktop also tend to
install inkscape.desktop. At the moment there's about two orders of
magnitude more data required.
