Certbot is a utility that can only be installed via snap. That crap won’t make it to our servers, and many other people view it the same way I do.

So this change is most welcome.

That doesn't sound right to me. It's been in Debian and Ubuntu for a while:

* https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/certbot

* https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/certbot

Last I was concerned with, this was the situation:

https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8345#issuecomment-...

That’s been three years though. The EFF/Certbot team has lost so much goodwill with me over that, I won’t go back.

It's a Python package you can install with pip, never ever installed it with Snap
