Before writing an article, we probably want to spend some time taking
inventory of what the concerns are (especially from a distro standpoint)
to ensure we address them.

xdg-app was designed in a way to play well with distros, and we need to
make that clear. I see articles coming out (lwn.net for example) that
imply xdg-app uses Yocto for runtimes. While our implementation used for
testing xdg-app itself does, this is not a requirement or likely to be
how it is implemented in distros.
