+  * Run snap info on the downloaded snap, rather than against the
+    store. First of all snap info doesn't have --channel argument, thus
+    queries the wrong channel, and depening on the cohort, a different
+    snap might be visible too. Thus seed the base of the snap revision we
+    dowanloaded, rather than some random one from the store.
