So the idea is, instead of creating a clone which is linked to a parent, we
would create a full clone of the disk. I can see this being useful when you
don't want to have the overhead of nested reads/writes. Am I correct?
So there are reasons to use a `linked` clone as pointed out by @serg38 and
there are reasons to use a full clone as well.
