No need for (UNOFFICIAL) in the name #5

The name of the application is "Filezilla", not "Filezilla (UNOFFICIAL)". The text description of the application name sufficiently describes the application and where it came from. I don't believe the CAPITAL LETTERS suffix to this (and other) snaps is really necessary, and is quite jarring when browsing the store.

Hello. As this snap is in devel quality I would take any necessary measures to make it even less appealing than the native distribution. Especially when in this case the user count is still increasing in a very (scary) rate:

Past experience tells us that people don't really fully read an app's description before hitting the install button.

As the upstream doesn't have a great impression on these agnostic software distribution technologies in the first place I don't wish to risk giving them a bad image of a poorly maintained, misleading distribution which may make them even less likely to adopt the work.

I may consider dropping the postfix on some snaps that are well maintained, but not this one at the moment.
