Stable, yes.
Efficient, unlikely with the current implemention - hence the need
for a rewrite.

If you have 5 snapshots of the same origin, the current implemention
takes 5 copies of the data when you change it. That approach is
never going to scale well!  And it uses lots of memory.

Next patch is heading for dm-devel in the next hour or so...
