Does gnome-software really work on anything other than Fedora? I'm going
to push for this on Mageia, but think we need to do a bit more outreach.
Further, probably need to inform distribution-list that they need to get
gnome-software working.

Feature based releases is bad, but 3.16 would be boring without it, so
think it is nice.

Slightly concerned that Mageia 5 is still not out, so less testing from
me. Further, think also Debian isn't testing 3.15. Think with such
changes more testers would be helpful.
