Thanks Paolo! We'll do that once we have everything in place. For now
Dave (the person responsible for Pi images) will do some tests to make
sure we're able to handle all the upgrade cases. But what we think will
have to happen is that we'd probably ask not to backport this change
into bionic and xenial. With snaps lacking dependency handling, it would
be too easy to actually cause machines to stop working - even if in our
gadget snaps we support loading of both compressed and uncompressed
kernels (with determining which case is currently needed), there's still
the case where someone could update only the kernel and leave an old
gadget snap. So we'd probably have to stick to uncompressed kernels for
core18, only switching to .gz in core20.
