I still think that this proposal creates a real burden, ABI breakage to developers. This isn't part of the desktop helper for sure as it doesn't follow any of the snappy best practices.

To compare paradigms, libwayland has a versioned protocol which is part of the GNOME and KDE runtime in flatpak. I don't see this concept being different from us and make it more difficult to package desktop snap running on Mir than desktop flatpacks running on wayland.

I guess if the Mir team doesn't want to work on some stability, maybe get the Mir team to document how to do it, what they should depend on, and adding their own env variable to every single snap in the store (as this needs rebuilding them all already)?
