Quoting the comment above
"Snapd MUST add an option to allow manual updates..."
Not having this option is just WRONG design because it assumes that people need to be disciplined into doing the updates whether the moment is right or not.
For example, now LXD is delivered as a snap and unless workarounds are put in place it will update while an LXD production server is running, putting at risk whatever number (hundreds? thousands?) of containers and VMs are inside. However low you think the probability of a broken update may be, the impact could be huge and therefore the risk (probability x impact) is considerably high.
The same goes for corporate desktops running snap based apps.
Please do not assume that people in general or management teams are not capable of planning updates. Automatic updates are a good thing in *some* contexts. This is only a good feature if it can be turned on and off, depending on the case.
