There are vague plans, yes. The time line of it has not been scoped, but it would be something akin to what happens on macos when you try to run a downloaded application for the first time and you have to go into their security config to allow it.

The application will still be "confined" but it may not get its own individual profile and share one with others the user has downloaded. The unconfined profile's will also get developed into full profiles. The plan is that unconfined profiles won't be a standard thing but an exception.

Another thing going to happen in the next upload is bwrap gets its own profile. Applications using bwrap might work through the bwrap profile. There will still be cases where they will need their own profile, but the bwrap profile will cover several cases that don't work today. Applications that have already received an unconfined profile will continue to work that way.
