I'd also ask where we keep these snapshots, and how do you prevent
access to them normally.  IIRC, yum-plugin-fs-snapshot makes btrfs
snapshots as a subvolume directly within the filesystem, which means it
will still be accessible.

This concerns me especially in the case of security updates -- for
example, a vulnerable setuid-root binary should be locked up tight!
