I'm not sure how music fits the 'computing' license view (but then I guess
one could argue themes are the same kind of artistic material).

Sounds like freedesktop.org material. An agreed way to index, describe
and find systemwide media files. The updating part is easy - you can keep
music in rpm format too and yum update it. The automatic indexing for apps
doesn't seem to be covered unless scrollkeeper is already happy with non
document media ?
