Does snappy actually provide any benefit over more common, distro-agnostic solutions like Docker?
They can live together

Yeah this would actually be very useful, +1 on this 👍
Snappy isn't likely to ever get developed on my end. It doesn't appear that snappy is well received, in general. If I am to ever go into the realm of immutable packages, I think Flatpak might be the best contender, so we don't find ourselves spending dev time and effort on what is still, largely an Ubuntu show.
Personally, I love the Github-based installation that MineOS uses now. However, with the dependencies that MineOS needs, stability may be improved by distributing via Ubuntu's new Snappy System.
It would be neat to consider having the install procedure instead be
sudo snappy install mineos
to grab the latest known-working versions of node.js, npm, rsync, Java, etc.
