I've readed poettering's posts, and what I don't like from it is the dependency from btrfs, I don't like to depend on a feature of a technology, not that much at least, and I find that limba packages and poettering's snapshots can be made to work together ( I mean the bundles could still be transformed to btrfs snapshots). BTW, I'm writing the post :) .
