Hi Tony,

Stepping up on a culture pedestal and looking down on others is pretty
unhealthy, even more if you do that blindly.

As was repeated many times in this thread, the files inside ~/snap must
*not* be hidden. Those are going to be music files, documents, pictures,
which strict snaps want to make available. That's not content that
should go unperceived no matter how your culture looks like.

It's also instructive to consider history in this context. Hidden
directories as they are known today were not supposed to be hidden in
the first place. The original intention was preventing "." and ".." from
being seen, but the assembly logic was miscoded, and the bug was abused
until it was too late.

So we are in good grounds both culturally and historically, yet we've
been repeatedly saying we *do want* to improve the situation even
further, and have on going work for that.

If that sounds unreasonable to you still, we'd likely be unable to
please no matter what.
