Indeed, it's pretty new AFAIK and I am as surprised Openshot are using it, last time I checked - a few weeks back - there was no such option on their download page.
There was an interesting discussion about it on HN a while back https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11187198

It does take more disk space to do this.
And while I have always been a big fan of RPM and of always using the repos for things, I have to say that there are many things RPM packages do not do well for the most part.
Size is not too much of a problem in my book, as long as I don't have to spend hours on end to find out what repos have the proper dep's and doesn't mismatch with each other, in order to install the software I wanted in the first place.
An OT sidetrack; has this appimage-thing been going on for some time now? Openshot is the first software I've seen that is delivered this way.
