Subject: Re: RAA raainstall-able flag

I wonder if having a flag in RAA would work as an encouragement to
developers to make their packages raa-install compatible.

Also it's not always possible to convince maintainers to do the steps
necessary to make their packages compatible, so I think there is value
to being able to flag it.

I would like to see it.
