Thanks for this reminder, I should have included the link that David
provided to http://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/confinement

In a nutshell classic make it very easy to provide snaps for
traditional (classic) distributions like Ubuntu 16.04. It is currently
not quite as polished as we would like it to be (we are actively
working on fixing that!) but I think its a really nice feature.

We have good news here - we fixed the build problem and snapd 2.20 is
now available in 14.04 in the "trusty-proposed" channel. I would
suggest to use it in a server environment only currently until we had
a chance to fix the xserver bug [3] (below).

Cheers,
 Michael
