Snap type: change from "os" to "core"
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request to rename snapd's 'os' snap type to 'core' to avoid ambiguity on classic systems. 10+ years old with zero comments; the rename has since been implemented in snapd (core snap is now type 'core'), so the issue is moot.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 3748 days old with 0 comments and no maintainer engagement, and the requested rename has already been implemented: current snapd uses 'core' as the snap type for the core snap, so the 'os' type and its ambiguity no longer exist. Closing as stale/moot is appropriate since the original problem is no longer reproducible.

Issue body
Snapd currently has a snap of type "os," but such names are ambiguous when it comes to running on classic where one already _has_ an OS. This type should be renamed to "core."
