Hi,

There was some time that I had obsession about UT. I bought MX4 and worked
really hard by translating various apps, reporting bugs. I understand that
now bigger case is moving to Snaps - that's okey.
But will this (moving to snaps) solve our problem with lack of some
technology (I'm not big tech guy, so sorry imprecise words) to get apps
working in background (in example working GPS navi app while using another
appps)? I think no - if I good understand, Snaps are simple way how to pack
software, not how it works itself.
Will this (moving to snaps) solve [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] or other
important bugs (some of them are 2+ years old) ? I don't think so.

I bought MX4 to help getting UT better.

What I understand for now:

We (Canonical) released some phones, we all worked to get some apps into
it, fix some bugs.
No, we're slowing this part (mainly stops it) to get first Snaps. Next
we'll maybe back to improve system itself.
I had question - why? Why some few years ago, when UT started, why then was
not in the first place to develop and implement Snaps and then focus on
phone development?!

Small tip: What would help? I think this ([6]) in example - not everyone
works on Ubuntu.

For now, I'm giving up with UT. Maybe in the future I will come back.
Despite my grief, I wish UT only good things.
