> Auto-updating of snaps can only be deferred at best, until at some point, like Windows, it auto-updates anyway. Even on metered connections, snaps auto-update anyway after some time.

This attitude is obnoxious. Yes, not everybody is on a metered connection or running a mission-critical system, but some are, and it is hardly unreasonable to accommodate them.

I'm using opensnitch[1] and it can block snap requests. Pretty nifty software, but it brings my machine to its knees unless I ``` sudo service opensnitchd restart ``` once in a while.
