We can keep this as a subcomponent for now.

Although we can take qemu-block back, we need a plan to address the
copied qemu sources to handle the qcow2 format. Reducing the bundled
sources (in contrib/) is important. Do you have a feature page in the
glusterfs-specs repository that explains the usability of qemu-block? I
have not seen a discussion on gluster-devel about this yet either,
otherwise I would have replied there...

Nobody used this before, and I wonder if we should not design and
develop a standard file-snapshot functionality that is not dependent on
qcow2 format.
