Consider signposting old snaps? #2988

Expected behaviour

As a user, I expect snaps in the store to be updated so users get the latest updates, security fixes and features. Some snaps are very old, having been published years ago, and never updated.

As a developer, I don't have a lot of time to update all my software everywhere, so may forget to update a package in the Snap Store.

Consider adding some wording to the storefront which tells users that the package is old.

"This snap in this channel hasn't been updated since February 2017. Contact the developer to ask for an update!"
