Is it Canonical really pushing for FP2? I think is a community effort, 
not an official one. And the UBport is click based, not snap based.

FP2 have a Snapdragon 801 processor [0], that's 32bit [1], and so it's 
out of the snap race.

That UBport project is at the same dead-end as our current phones.

I hope there's a nice surprise in Mobile World Congress 2017 with 
Canonical announcing some nice 64bit phones snap-ready, but FP2 "ain't 
gonna be" one of them.

Cheers.
