As a user, that is far less important to me than the fact that *every single
time* there is a snap refresh, Google Meet stops working, I have to restart
Chromium, it reports that Chromium did not shut down cleanly, and part of my
session state has been lost with no chance to preserve it.

I think the state should all be moved to the common dir until you have a way
to handle the rollback case without making the *upgrade* case terrible.
