Comment 1 for bug 1607067

It would seem pointless to have this restriction on "home" if it was only another interface away to get to those files: as I understand it, dot files are assumed to contain sensitive information and therefore excluded, so I can sleep well knowing that nothing would read my .ssh for example just because it's using the "home" interface.

That said, I did run into this, and had to tweak some environment variables because things like .config and .bash_history are not readable. And it's not a huge problem - it's mainly an issue of discoverability. Users of my snap need to know where to find or put files.
