 There are two cases where a snapshot revert involves extra risk, which
-requires the use of *--force* to proceed.  One is the case of a
-snapshot that lacks full domain information for reverting
-configuration (such as snapshots created prior to libvirt 0.9.5);
-since libvirt cannot prove that the current configuration matches what
-was in use at the time of the snapshot, supplying *--force* assures
-libvirt that the snapshot is compatible with the current configuration
-(and if it is not, the domain will likely fail to run).  The other is
-the case of reverting from a running domain to an active state where a
-new hypervisor has to be created rather than reusing the existing
-hypervisor, because it implies drawbacks such as breaking any existing
-VNC or Spice connections; this condition happens with an active
-snapshot that uses a provably incompatible configuration, as well as
-with an inactive snapshot that is combined with the *--start* or
-*--pause* flag.
