I'm testing it out for Phoronix. The copr works correctly, it installs fine. Running snapper works fine, once you figure out what the correct instructions should be (snapcraft.io's instructions are slightly wrong).
Applications appear to run correctly and integrate fine in the Workstation environment.. minus LibreOffice. File sizes are massive compared to traditional packages. The Document Foundation's rpm package for Linux x64 is 229 MBs. A LibreOffice 5.2 Beta snap that I found clocked in at 1.1 GB.
