Yes, which raises the question whether featured content should only be
software that is not already installed.

- The application is called discover. So, why not discover something
that is installed?

- OTOH the software is already installed. So, why not discover it via
the menu (or documentation) (or already know about it) (or the search)
(...)

- Currently discover has a static order of featured content, meaning
it will always display the content in the order we defined it in
(personally I find that a bit dull, but oh well), perhaps a middle
ground could be established where we simply stuff the key apps we ship
with Kubuntu into the back of the list. If discover sits around idle
for a minute or so and the user looks at it, they might see Amarok or
Gwenview or Firefox.

Thoughts?
