Comment 14 for bug 1776800

Hi Jeffrey and Erik!
  You are being heard :-) But this is not an easy task, and the amount of work required to support the case of home directories nested somewhere deeper inside /home is very different (read: lower) than that required to support home directories located elsewhere in the system.

We are first tackling the first problem, and this bug will be closed once that part is fixed. The bug that best describe your use-case is https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1620771, so I recommend you to subscribe to that one.
