Trisquel 7+ should utilize Snap packages and a libre host for them

Even through the unreleased Trisquel 8 has the tool to create Snap packages via Snapcraft, Trisquel 7 and 8 have the snapd package to run Snaps.
Since there isn't going to be a community repository and PPAs can be sketchy, why not have Trisquel run its own Snap portal and modify the Snap related software to reference it if necessary?
The uncertainty of Trisquel 8 worries me and Snap packages may be the best option to get up to date and isolated software. I know that in Ubuntu, its an easy way to get up to date Atom, LibreOffice, and VLC.
