Making network bridges is essential so it is either going to be in the
ubuntu-core snap, or in a Canonical-maintained standard framework snap
that people can depend on in the same way that they depend on the core.

The easiest way to approach that is to start with a "networking"
framework snap under Loic's tender care, then discuss whether it makes
sense to bring that into the core.

I do think webdm would need to show you such bridges, which tilts the
argument in favour of having this capability in the core, but I think we
can start out thinking of it as a framework and then discuss further
when we have a bit of experience with it.
