I am experimenting with Frameworks to essentially extend the Snappy base
system by software and services which lots of snaps require but should
not be included in any and each snap due to update issues and size. The
best example i have for this, is the openssl binary. Many snaps need
this to generate and validate keys and certificates.

The other issue i tied to solve with a framework is the access to system
wide resources, mote notably ports. Eg, a web server framework would
provide ways for other snapps to inject their web service api and end
points via reverse proxy into the framework running the web server.

I was told on IRC that i am kind of abusing the framework concept, but
still these two issues come up on my desk often.

We can have a more detailed discussion in IRC if you like.
