@jdstrand I think we can open an exception for classic confinement for that sort of application, with the following rationale:
- These are image frontend applications, which means they are being shipped in the image itself by the image builders
- The particular image (the Linux distribution or flavor) needs to have a visible community behind it that would justify the snap to be publicly available
- The snap name, summary, and description need to clearly describe that use case, so people wouldn’t risk installing it without intending to
On that last point, I see a pattern of <distro name>-welcome
for this sort of snap on the two requests we got. It sounds like a good one. As a detail, one of those has the “ubuntu-” prefix, while the other doesn’t. Can we agree on doing one or the other consistently?
