So I was rather surprised by this Softpaedia article today:

It claims that Canonical state that they have been working with
Fedora developers to make this the universal packaging format.
The snapcraft.io site instructions say to use a COPR by a Canonical
employee who is not a Fedora packager.
Does anyone in marketing or development now what the article is
referring to and what's going on?
Snappy fundamentally relies on apparmour to do confinement (i.e. it
doesn't use filesystem namespaces like flatpak), how does this work on
fedora? You can't use selinux and apparmour at the same time, so this
shouldn't be able to work, unless they disable the containment feature.
