Unfortunately it is only "water resistant up to 50 meters" and most Olympic swimming events involve swimming more than a single length of the pool.

I don't understand the relevance of your comment. 16.04 supports Snaps, uses X by default, and will be around long enough that snaps will be available for people to download and use within its lifetime, right? If that statement is true, then there is a security risk.

Why do you believe this to be true? 16.04 doesn't use Mir and is an LTS, people will be using it for years, and it is not even guaranteed yet that 16.10 will use Mir by default.

I'm not really sure what the story is here. As it says in the linked article, this technology has been in use for at least 10 years in a large number of schools. Also, the only "privacy concerns" raised appear in the other article are about an entirely different system at a school in the US.

Presumably wheels that change in size can also be used instead of a differential?
