Yep, sure. But LXD is currently the most common way to manage LXC,
right? At least, when I ask LXC questions on here, people seem to be
surprised that I'm not using LXD.

So with LXD transitioning to snap in Ubuntu, is it expected that LXD
will only be used for snap packages?

And if I want to continue using LXC without snap, I won't get the
advantages of managing it with LXD?
