yeah, well even a stray cat fills a role, are they really needed? I don't know... The one good thing about the snap idea is at least it runs in a semi-contained way in the user's home.

Maybe if they set up some tighter controls, like a form when installed that says "this app accesses this, because of this, Allow (Y/N)?"
