Just one question relating to thoughts around how you apply a filter to the 
snapshot view from a user's perspective. 

In the "considerations" section, it states - "We plan to introduce a 
configurable option to limit the number of snapshots visible under the USS 
feature." 
Would it not be possible to take the meta data from the snapshots to form a 
tree hierarchy when the number of snapshots present exceeds a given threshold, 
effectively organising the snaps by time. I think this would work better from 
an end-user workflow perspective. 

i.e. 
.snaps 
\/ Today 
+-- snap01_20140503_0800 
+-- snap02_ 20140503_ 1400
