    I guess the main intent is to use them primarily in hooks, but
    nothing should prevent it to be available in your other snap daemon
    as well (as it's part of the core rootfs).<br>

    <br>
    I don't know about any plan for that, I'll let others answer. I
    think you mean a downgrade hook being executed after a snap revert
    to fetch back "newer data" that could be lost in the revert process
    and transfer back to the older version? Or do you have any other use
    case in mind?<br>

          Hey Aaron,<br class="gmail_msg">
          <br class="gmail_msg">
          sounds like a great plan for usability!<br class="gmail_msg">
          <br class="gmail_msg">
          I would suggest using configure hooks to proceed that. Hooks
          are just a<br class="gmail_msg">
          way for users to set variable=value. Based on that, you can
          control your<br class="gmail_msg">
          daemon with a configure script (triggered by this command)
          inside your<br class="gmail_msg">
          snap. This one can triggers start and stop inside a mongodb
          daemon<br class="gmail_msg">
          wrapper (waiting for a certain value to be passed for instance
          before<br class="gmail_msg">
          executing the real daemon).<br class="gmail_msg">
