We are likely moving away from having aliases defined explicitly in the snap, snap.yaml at all.

Nevertheless what is true and will stay true is that because aliases all share a global name space and may cause conflicts, they need some custodianship over that name space,

at the moment aliases can be auto-enabled similarly as auto connection for privileged interfaces (via assertions), these need to be discussed on the user mailing list or discussed with a reviewer during a review process (though not atm nor when they will not be in snap.yaml anymore obviously they trigger a manual review).
