He _could_, and maybe he will at some point. But now, if you want a snap,
there's no use in complaining about how you can and can't get it. Just get the
bitkeeper tools and do:
bk clone bk://waltari.theophys.kth.se:5000 mol/
and you have a snap that you can build. The recent snaps work pretty well (some
bugs are fixed with respect to 0.9.53), and it's not a difficult build.
