Will Ubuntu replace dpkg with snappy?

My apologies for being uninformed, but I couldn't find the answer through Google or read/understand a definite answer out of Mark's announcement.

Are there plans to replace dpkg in its entirety with the new snappy approach? Or will this feature be reserved for the mobile/core (and maybe desktop) branch?

Solution 1:

I am an Ubuntu Core Developer, Ubuntu Server developer and a developer on the Canonical Server Team.

Yes, Xenial Xerus, scheduled for 16.04 LTS, will use dpkg as normal. While we continue to develop Snappy, including for Ubuntu Server users, Snappy will not replace the regular apt and dpkg based server release in Xenial.
