Comment 3 for bug 1696771

When I read the bug description, to me it seemed clear the bug report is about using the snap *common* directory, but the fix is just doing some copy of samples into *SNAP_DATA* and allow use of files from there. Nothing about using SNAP_COMMON.
I think the fix allows one to push preseed files into maas, which is a step forward, but still...

My understanding of Snapd variables is that as a consequence of not using SNAP_COMMON, if you upgrade maas via snap (and it looks like snap got to be the only way to install it), then you say bye-bye to your preseed files.

Is this the intended behavior?

I liked also the observation about this not being HA.
Which also raised in my mind the question about how is HA achieved in regards to the files extracted from distro OSes.
