Carlos. Aren't you underestimating the normative power of the industry and the capital here? If you offer it and (although bringing a higher security risk to the user) if it is easier to prepare packages in this format for all distribution, I will simply not offer anything else anymore. Because it is cheaper and, as a result, I maximize my profit. If there are problems with security as a producer of software it is even better: one blame it on the distribution and on the OS. For me that system has a great future. :-)
So how many rpm based applications are you using today on openSUSE that are delivered by "the industry"? Or are you afraid that if Snap is available that community openSUSE package maintainers will jump boat and stop building rpms? -Scott
