Spinning off a new topic from Wiz's post https://www.linux.org/threads/snapcraft.23054/#post-68368.
So Wiz, there have been some PPA's I've trusted because the site I found them on was a reputable site. But overall, how does one determine that a PPA can be trusted? If you go to https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa, around 3/4 of the way down it has a paragraph subject "Adding this PPA to your system". The first sentence says "from this untrusted PPA". If they say it's untrusted, how can I trust it? What about any other PPA from someone lesser known than LibreOffice? Can you trust just any PPA?
