Malicious namesquatting of snaps
Metadata
Current evaluation
Complaint that a user squatted the 'bitcoin' snap name and is forcing outdated, incompatible software on users. No labels, no comments, no maintainer activity in ~7.8 years. A store policy/moderation concern, not a snapcraft tool defect.
Suggested action: close not a bug
Reason: The complaint targets snap store name-squatting moderation policy, which is handled by the store team, not by the snapcraft build tool — there is no code path in this repo to fix, and grep/commit searches found no namesquatting-related work. The issue has had zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement for 2837 days, and the specific 'bitcoin' snap situation is long outdated, so it should be closed as out of scope rather than kept as a bug.
