<p>Sorry should have put the reference, the <a href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.1.html" rel="nofollow">desktop file spec</a> says "For applications, the part of the name of the desktop file (before the .desktop) should follow the "reverse DNS" convention, e.g. org.example.FooViewer.desktop."</p>

<ul>
<li>Yes, I think it's now the preferred naming scheme;</li>
<li>However, I don't know if it actually has any advantage (I though at a time it helped with startup notification, but tests I made a while back suggests it does not);</li>
<li>I know downsides to changing a .desktop file name (dead links, duplicated entries if people copied over the file, and whatnot).</li>
</ul>
<p>So… yeah if we'd start over, I'd use the reverse-DNS scheme, but I don't think we should change the name we use unless we really know <em>why</em>.</p>
