So I was rather surprised by this Softpaedia article today:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/snap-packages-become-the-universal-binary-format-for-all-gnu-linux-distributions-505241.shtml

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?
