Would you mind to elaborate why? I would like to stress out that you will not be "forced" to download Firefox from flathub. You will get the same Firefox as you get today from OBS, it will just be a flatpak and not an rpm so that it can be reused across all released distributions (actually any Linux distribution supporting flatpak).
The point Michael seems to be making is that currently he can go to command line (or package manager in GNOME) and do `zypper in MozillaFirefox` and it's installed. And then when the system is updated with `zypper patch`, everything is updated.
From a user standpoint, it's very important that having different technology behind it, like flatpak, does NOT break the user experience when it comes to keeping the system or the applications updated or installing the application in the first place.
So it doesn't matter if it's flatpak or RPM or whatever, it's really important that we don't have a Windows-like experience when it comes to updates where everything is on its own. Our basic job is not to make RPMs - we are *integrators* and a distribution is an *integration*.
This is a very good point!
Michael, Benjamin, what's your take on this?
Cheers,
Dan
