   I don't either, but I think it is a better idea than snaps.   
      
   I also 'understand' the necessity for 'alternate' package schemes in a   
   world of 'disparate' linux distro/s which make for greater difficulty in   
   dev/s being able to provide a working package for 'all of them'.   
      
   I find it 'too bad' that Ubuntu's embracing of the snap scheme has   
   eroded the interest in .ppa package repo/s, which I found useful.   
      
   The subject of sandboxing is another angle.  Also another direction of   
   disparity.
