This makes sense for certain use cases (such as cloud services built
on snappy core). But another market that Canonical appears to be
targeting for snappy core is embedded systems. In this context, the
device developer is generally more interested in snappy for its
software deployment & updating features than for keeping one service
within the embedded device completely confined from another service on
the same device. Indeed, a great deal of control over service
configuration may be required in order to build a complete embedded
system.
