I'm failing to connect the dots here... snappy is a different packaging paradigm with some advantages and disadvantages; but how exactly does it ensure that distributed packages are newer? Isn't that a function of the packager?
it does not and yes it depends on the package, but hey it's "new and cool" while a recent and well maintained distribution with *one* cnrealized package management is the biggest benefit of a linux distribution
any thoughts throwing away this centralized and dependency based package management (even in parts) will do much more harm then not follow every recent buzz-thing *especially* in case of a distribution released every 6 months
all that talking about "competitors" is just FUD and nothing else to justify large changes for a unknown win - simple example: if i would care about ubuntu and gnome i would not use Fedora, frankly i switched to Linux in times Ubuntu was still the most famous distribution *because* i did not like to switch from Windows to a different OS with the slightest Windows touch at all and to say it frankly *because* i did not search a operating system many people are using *but* one which fits *my needs* and Fedora was that operating system
NOBODY needs Fedora to be similar to Ubuntu REALLY NOBODY because otherwise we won't need more than one Linux distro
