Q. If I have a zowe extension .pax file, how do I put it into an app store? A. You can wrap that pax file in a package.json and publish that into an npm registry of your choice! You can even use a little tool within zowe/zowe-install-packaging#2980 which automates copying properties from manifest.yaml over to package.json

Q. What should I tell users about SMPE? A. SMPE can deliver a pax file which is installed with zwe components install. the npm packages can contain .pax files.... So, you can register the component regardless of whether it comes from SMPE or a package manager, but it's your choice.
