STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Discover 2. Go to "Installed" 3. Click on e.g. "KDE Application Platform" OBSERVED RESULT A page opens where I am shown reviews from people and can write my own review EXPECTED RESULT Flatpak runtimes are implementation details that users are not allowed to have an opinion on, so publicly reviewing them makes no sense SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: master KDE Frameworks Version: master Qt Version: 6.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I really don't see the problem with allowing users to rate these. Microsoft permits it at their `msstore` repository (via the `Microsoft.WindowsStore` package). Reviews tend to be summarisations of a user's experience with a package that can't easily be separated into individual issues in the upstream tracker. That applies to a runtime as much anything else, if that runtime has been problematic or impressive for the reviewer. On that note, might I ask what you mean by "Flatpak runtimes are implementation details that users are not allowed to have an opinion on"?
