I've long since stopped tracking the current state of snap related issues so I don't have any relevant links to provide. 1) For auto updates, you can find plenty of examples via Google/Reddit searches that eventually tie back to discussions on the Ubuntu discourse forums where the snap developers weigh in and explicitly state they are not going to provide a way to disable snap auto updates. 2) For home directory pollution, IIRC the objections were raised on the bug tracker for snapd so once again it should be possible to dig up the discussions around that pretty easily. 3) For the 72 hour thing, you can find people complaining about the lack of proper logging easily enough where eventually someone mentions the 72 hour auto purge problem. I verified it myself by going through the source code for snapd with the comments in the code mentioning trying to keep memory usage down. I recall scarcely believing anyone would do something that bone headed but here we are. This may be a case where no one has "officially" raised an issue on their forums or bug tracker though that ties the two things together though. Hope that helps you track that down.
