Maybe we could alter the message to indicate that this applies to systemd where snaps are actually confined. OTOH, i see that this is only visible if you issue `snap debug confinement` command. Including this information in say, `snap version` would make it more accessible.

Proposed a small patch to include confinement mode in `snap version` output. If this is merged we will be able to update hello-world.evil to suggest looking at current confinement mode before filing a bug to snapd.
