The bad Cert doesn't fill me with confidence. But that aside Those just
re-itterate the party line

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Sandbox
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Filesystem

And other links on that wiki have the kind of info I'm looking for and may be
of interest to Devs/Maintainers

Good to know and explains a bit of my confusion. Clearly this is a very DE type

After reading the above from the github wiki many of my "I'll make a mess"
fears are alleyed. I can still see ways thing can go wrong but those would
mostly be either pilot error or people not understand the sandbox things which
don't effect system stability. 

Guess the big issue left is keeping it (the list of available flatpaks) libre.
