For completeness, we ended up backing out the snapcraft SRU via a
re-upload of 2.35 to xenial-updates. The snapcraft team is working on
fixes to the bugs found.

Meanwhile, a mass reimport ran last week and the existing whitelist +
1% of main was reimported. This resulted in 905 successful imports and
5 failed imports. The latter 5 will presumably be broken for a while,
as we focus on upping our phasing before resolving those issues (LP:
#1754898).

I am working right now on an issue with our default repository
repointing script.

Additionally, roughly 150 manual imports remain in the
~usd-import-team space, but those source packages were never added to
the whitelist. They need to be reimported, as well (and added to the
whitelist). I am waiting to ensure that there are no pending MPs for
those source packages before reimporting.

Once that is done, we will start the 'keep-up' script again, which
will spend some time catching up the repositories based upon Launchpad
publishes since the mass reimport.

Finally, we will then look to bump our phasing to 2% (of main), to
approximate the disk usage as the phasing increases.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to work through this process.
