    if anbody actually at Canonical is reading this and wants me (and others) to take snaps seriously, please consider submitting pull requests to some of the core cli tool projects impacted by the way you guys abuse the loop device mechanism. Something simple like the ability to export HIDE_SNAP_MOUNTS=1 that gets picked up by the impacted tools in util-linux (lsblk, mount, blkid, fdisk, etc) and gnu coreutils (du, df) and simply hides the lines related to loop device mounts would go a long way - preferably only the ones added by snap but even an option to hide all of them would be better than nothing.
