Snap keeps old versions of programs updates

When Snap updates a program it keeps the before versions installed. For example, I had Skype installed with the 60 version ( 567 MB ),but then it was updated with 63 version (606 MB) and finally the actual 66 version ( 607 MB ). As is the program uses 1.7 GB in the hard disc. If an user has in his system a few programs installed using Snap, probably it doesn't a big problem but if the idea is that in the future the most program is istalling as is, it will use a lot of space in the hard disc, and the process won't be efficient. If I uninstall Skype and re install again, it uses only 607 MB. If this issue is not known, how can I comunicate to Ubuntu programers to review it and try to improve the process ?
