+### Snap
+
+The Node.js [Snap][] package has a "default" for installs where the user hasn't
+specified a release line ("track" in Snap terminology). This should be updated
+to point to the most recently activated LTS. A member of the Node.js Build
+Infrastructure team is able to perform the switch of the default. An issue
+should be opened on the [Node.js Snap management repository][] requesting this
+take place once a new LTS line has been released.
