Ahh yeah fair enough.

There are further discussions before we actually get to snapshot and
rollbacks, not least of which is things like 'dnf history' can't show
you an accurate history if there's been an external (filesystem)
rollback of the system root that does not rollback /var/lib/dnf.
Ideally we'd never have to rollback anything in /var, but possibly
with an option for selective restore.
