This is from the day frameworks existed and only one framework with a
specific name could exist for the system; so an an ecosystem with

- name: docker, origin: canonical, type:framework
- name: hello-world, origin: canonical, type: app
- name: hello-world, origin: mvo, type: app

A call on QualifiedName would return

- docker
- hello-world.canonical
- hello-world.mvo

That said, I don't want to get into the history of this, at least not
over email :-)
