Comment 8 for bug 1850064

@Martin, please keep statement like 'just because a developer doesn't want to' outside of the bug tracker, launchpad is a work place not an user forum.

The statement is also not respectul of the people working on those snaps, thunderbird is still available as a deb, is going to be updated and you are free to keep using the deb.

And to reply to your point, debs are more likely to get a deprecated version of a library in use than snaps since they have no real choice than to follow what the distribution provides. Typically Bionic wouldn't get a new gtk serie but snaps could easily bundle the current gtk stable version or use the corresponding platform.
