I totally agree with that.
I am working on integrating Ubuntu-core (16.04 / all snaps) on IoT
(quadcopter drone) and I would like to have something to play with, even
if I need to reflash in the future because of some change.
It's not a problem to reflash/refactor code, but it's a problem if you
are stuck on the other hand.

Thanks!
