Good point again, thanks. Coming from a device-mapper and LVM2 background
that's my natural priority, but we are very clear that we want to create
a solution that will work for the full range of snapshot techniques now
available on Linux (including potentially ZFS although it's not a high
priority, simply due to how few distributions ship it).
