| #1550381 lxd should be a suggestion, not a direct dependency | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Closed without action; the proposal to change lxd from a direct dependency to a suggested package was abandoned. No implementation or discussion occurred. | |
| #354 Prefer `--use-lxd` over `CRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT` | craft-application | open | CLI flag --use-lxd is ignored when CRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT=host is set; _use_provider() in lifecycle.py doesn't check the flag before the env var.
