"It will also help to avoid the problems that Flatpak and Snap would be to Trisquel users as those methods doesn't have any interest on protect Freedom whatsoever, and don't have guidelines against Free Software."

I'm not sure what you're basing this on, have the Flatpak and Snap devs made dismissive comments about software freedom? But even if they have, the same is true to some degree of every non-GNU project including the Linux kernel. Plenty of software in Trisquel can be used (if the user decides) as a platform for non-free software, the most obvious example being ABrowser, which can be used to run non-free Javascript etc.

I don't think either of these are good reasons for Trisquel to not support Flatpak or Snap packaging, assuming production-ready, 100% libre implementations are available. Not supporting two of the available standards for *universal* GNU/Linux binaries would just become another reason for users to choose a non-free distro over Trisquel.
