Has the use of vendor in .desktop files been changed recently? The guidelines currently say "If upstream uses <vendor_id>, leave it intact, otherwise use fedora as <vendor_id>." This is what I'm doing in my package. I see that there are some proposed changes to the desktop files section in PackagingDrafts/DesktopFiles, but the use of vendor is unchanged in that draft. I also don't see anything in the IRClogs nor do I recall reading anything on this list.
I ask because it's come up in a review and I'd just like to be sure that I haven't missed a change (and so I'll have a clear and definitive answer to refer to in the review [#228425]).

Recently? yes. Packaging/Guidelines were updated on 02/16 to include what was in PackagingDrafts/DesktopFiles

Thanks Rex. That ought to make it clear that vendor is still needed.
