Yes, snap packages have us worried about the forced upgrade too. We decided, thought, that for people attempting to figure out FRRouting that this would be a good way to allow people to try us out. I know Martin was looking at this at one point and I do not remember what he came up with. Martin do you remember?
Yes, my thread on this topic seems to break all records on longest (and still active) thread in the snap craft forum Here is the main thread with all the discussion: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for-snap-from-store Feel free to join the discussion… - Martin

Greetings
I had occasion to experiment with canonical's lxd which forced me to use snapd. In the process of this education I found that canonical forced dialy upgrades/updates (not sure which is the correct term). In trying to tame this insistence of ET's on calling home I got to a solution, suggested on the snapd forum which seemed to work. The result was that every month (the new updating frequency) my system would shut itself down because I had refused to let it connect to the snapd and lxd mother ships.
Your FRRouting, that I have just found, looks like quite interesting stuff but I'm seeing where installing from snapcraft is considered an option. As I have had quite some pain from snapcraft/snapd I am curious as to why something that forced daily upgrades/updates is being used to install software that 'just needs to work'?
If this kind of question is considered 'not nice' I will apologize in advance but I still would like to understand the logic behind choosing this method of installation.
