Comment 15 for bug 1943840

Olivier, I am not sure what is the reasoning here.

That you obviously want to land this in a non-LTS version has nothing to do with the fact the base product is not ready and that the change was announced unacceptably late here. The Flutter-based installer is a nice example. You can obviously develop something for years ánd still land it in a non-LTS.

Locking out users is not just about "the deb still being available". Some people will have the snap, others the deb, and others both. If they have both I have no idea which one is run when they click the FF icon. The upgrade scenario you mention in comment #7 does not seem to be the real world case either.

We just got teleported back in time, where the only way for our helpdesk to know what happens when a user calls the helpdesk, is to open a terminal and run "apt-get" and "ps aux". This is a support hell, especially at scale. Because of a non-critical move to another package format.

And so far no guarantees on the LTS either.
