Current evaluation

Report that pressing TAB during 'sudo snap install --devmode' on snap 2.23.6 (Ubuntu 17.04, series 16) freezes the console and blocks all keyboard input. No labels, no comments, no activity for ~9 years; the affected release is long past EOL.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue has had zero comments and no maintainer interaction for 3414 days (~9.3 years), and it targets snap 2.23.6+17.04.1 on Ubuntu 17.04 (series 16), a release that reached end of life in January 2019 and is no longer supported. The modern snapd CLI has been substantially rewritten since, so the original problem is no longer reproducible or applicable to current versions.
