During the verification we found https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1689332, snapd team considers that this is serious enough to block the release.

While addressing https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1689332 the team decided to freeze the ubuntu-core snap and publish the current stable to all the channels, this prevents the error provoked by the new 2.25 package.

This was the only blocker, the rest of the verification was good:

+ Verified bugs associated to the SRU affecting the user interface
+ Executed manual tests described in [1]
+ Verified new features from the changelog [2] affecting the user interface
+ Executed automated spread tests on xenial [3], yakkety [4], zesty [5]
