If Launchpad needs to build our Snaps as a part of the release process, 
that's something that will need to happen only a few times a year. Apps 
on FlatHub are similarly built for us by FlatHib infrastructure. It's fine.

But asking Launchpad to build us a Snap for every commit is another 
matter. KDE apps get at least one commit per day just due to 
translations, and popular apps may get many commits per day and many 
merge requests. I can think of a large variety of issues that could be 
caused by asking Launchpad to build Snaps at this much higher frequency 
level.

So can we clarify the proposal? Are you asking to have Launchpad build 
Snaps as a part of the CI process, for every commit and merge request? 
Or just as a part of the release process that happens a few times a year?
