See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_fedora-appstream-metadata
I'm afraid that there is a confusion about the purpose of this packages and its content and this page is not accurate. It's not the metadata for all packages, just the metadata for the Fedora Linux distribution itself, so it does not need to be tested so exhaustively and likely need a test for EOL dates instead (but this is much harder to test).
I have a suspicion that @sumantrom wanted to test appstream-data and not fedora-appstream-metadata.
appstream-data
fedora-appstream-metadata
@sumantrom Can you clarify?
If this is the case, we need to adjust the page content (including categories) and also rename it.

Hey @kparal and @siosm
I wanted to test for appstream-data and not fedora-appstream-metadata... I will fix the TC
I fixed it. The validate command sure does take a long time, though. It's been running for several minutes at this point. I'm worried it'll result in a huge flood of errors that won't really be useful. Oh, well.
Metadata Update from @adamwill: - Issue close_status updated to: Fixed - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
that validate command - appstream-util validate /usr/share/swcatalog/xml/fedora.xml.gz - never did complete, and seems to be a serious resource sucker. does anyone have an alternative suggestion for it?
appstream-util validate /usr/share/swcatalog/xml/fedora.xml.gz
