I'd like to assume that whoever is planning to upload snappy (and I assume
that someone *is* interested) is taking their time to get the packaging right
for our distro and thinking through integration and whole-distribution issues
rather than simply uploading a rush-job to the archive.
I'd actually like to see a wider discussion as to the merits of snappy versus
flatpak (and others) and the pros/cons of supporting (or otherwise) multiple
such things or picking one (or waiting to see whether any get any kind of
real-world traction).

I believe Adnan is working on an lxd package (if I remember the ITP correctly).
It is somewhat delayed, but that is largely due to the ITP being squatted by
someone else for a year or so, and I can't blame Canonical for particular
failing (which is a problem with our processes whereby ITPs can be effectively
squatted and contributors put off by others over-promising and under-delivering)
