[arch-general] snapcraft.io IMO gets across the message that snaps are appropriate for Arch Linux

You are using Ubuntu resources to spread an anti-snapcraft message along
the lines of Arch-style philosophy.

I would appreciate if you could respect the Ubuntu motto and their
general mission statement of targeting "human beings" rather than "Linux
gurus", and extend that respect all the way to their desire to use Snaps
as a means to simplify life for their target users.

Quoted from your posts there:

Um, no. Ubuntu is allowed to expect whatever level of
self-responsibility they want, from their target users. Users who
evaluate their self-responsibility as incompatible with the goals of
Ubuntu are free, in turn, to choose another distro. I suggest debian, as
it is more or less the same thing as Ubuntu just with more
responsibility. ;)

And you proceeded to argue the merits of switching to a rolling release
distro! What is your point there, exactly? People use Ubuntu *because*
it is not rolling release...

The Arch devs already know, and expressed their complete unconcern in
every aspect of that website and the community surrounding it.
We discovered that the last time someone spawned a mega-thread in this
mailing list. I'm sure you saw it...
