Title: Do not promote or show classic snaps as installable or display the warning before installation Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: artful desktop Test Case: 1. Search atom (or any classic snap) and install it Actual result It is not installable in gnome-software and fails without a user visible error message. Expected result When a classic snap is installed from the command line, there is a warning message that explains the risk and asks the user to repeat the installation with --classic if he understood the message. In gnome-software it just fails without any message. There are several options: 1. Do not show classic snaps 2. Show the warning and the user must acknowledge before proceeding with the installation, in which case the snap is installed in classic mode.
