Comment 8 for bug 1607067

This bug is nearly 2 years and and severely limiting the usability of snap packages. Since I know Canonical is pushing snaps crazy hard, I would have expected some movement on this sooner. This needs to be a priority.

You can't expect average desktop users to know how to either install a snap in devmode, or symlink their dotfiles from the snap app's directory. For the rest of us, this is just tedious and unnecessary.

Perhaps a better solution for things like SSH keys would be to deny access to 600 mode files or something?
