My memory [*] is that snapcraft CI jobs started appearing in some repos and 
two big issues happened:
 
 a) There was either a direct commit or an auto-approved MR to add the CI, 
which is kind of a no-no in our development process

 b) The CI jobs were failing/beta/incomplete and the answer I was given was 
"yeah we will iron out the issues later after we've added snapcraft recipes to 
the repos". That's not acceptable, CI needs to be perfectly passing all the 
time. If work is needed to refine the CI jobs it needs to happen outside the 
mainline repositories.

I am not sure I understand your message correctly, but it seems you say B may 
still be an issue?

If so I'm still against this happening.

Cheers,
