"As an aside, your description of what basically seem to be "hard coded"
paths for mounts and security policies explains a tangentially related
problem I'm having with snaps - on my system I use a non-default
location for $HOME, and that's messing up the 'carefully spelled out'
security policies, apparently. That's a problem, because there's no
guarantee that $HOME will be under /home on *nix systems, particularly
on servers or genuinely multiuser systems. Though technically
difficult, that possibility needs to be taken into account by the snap
ecosystem."
That is a separate issue (bug #1620771) from this bug and is something that is tunable, though it could be made easier by snapd (which is why that bug is still open).
