Yes. Since the things that determine age ratings depend on regional
(!) legislation, varying wildly between different countries or even
within countries, that is the only way.
I am currently working on a plan to centralize the age mapping in
libappstream, but tbh I do not thing that we will ever have a fully
legally sound solution for this without employing a lot of lawyers.
There is just so much stuff to take care of, and so much regional
variation, that a software solution will likely not be able to cover
all cases.
See https://hughsie.github.io/oars/ (which is used in AppStream) for
details. As the intro text says, we rely on people being honest about
things and are purely informational.
Cheers,
Matthias
