No comments? Well, there seems to be no downside (apart from the work).

So far, I considered Snap an Ubuntu-only initiative of yet-another-package-format. If it really gains cross-distro support, this is a great way for better D support on Fedora, Arch, etc. What is the evidence for cross-distro support? Can it be measured somehow?

Is it legally possible to distribute DMD this way? Afaik only dlang.org is allowed to distribute it publically due to the backend licence issue.
