Hi,
We’ll need a discussion/voting period of 7 days per Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks.
+1 from me as a reviewer, since other snaps use the insider track for a similar purpose.
I have to ask/suggest, though - would using the edge risk serve a similar purpose? “any users interested in testing newer developments ahead of a stable release.” sounds literally like what edge is for, and “internal team for testing” would also be served by an edge release.
You gain nothing by using tracks, since tracks are discoverable (so anyone can find out your insider track as easily as the edge channel).
Tracks also have drawbacks such as no automatic fallback to a more-stable risk in case you decide to later abandon insider - anyone using it will be stuck in a prerelease / testing client and would need explicit manual action to move to an updated channel. With edge, you can simply close it and people will start getting updates from the next risk channel that has something published.
