[Bug 1850064] Re: Please upgrade it to 68.x on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

[Martin Dünkelmann]

Okay, I will stop and just answer your message.
And it is just my opinion about the disadvantages of snaps.

And I don't address developers who maintain everything.
But I address the developers who think they can throw a snap into the snap store and doesn't put in updated dependencies. These developers exist.

And deprecated? Since a LTS distribution must ship updated versions with bug and security fixes?
I don't speak about the shiny new and maybe buggy major version updates, I speak about the bug and security fixing patches.
You install a deb and used third party libraries standard shipped in the distribution get maintained by the distribution maintainer. And the developer is forced to update his application to remain compatibility.
You install a snap and you can hope that the snap guy puts effort in updating third party in his snap.

And again, I don't address every developer.
