Dnf + BTRFS Snapshots: what stands in the way?

We are in some ways a victim of our own success. If updates or upgrades were more risky, we’d be in a better position to mitigate that risk with snapshots and rollbacks.

@mjg

this would have been solved by … possibly - dnf history undo, which kinda proves @chrismurphy 's point.

Just to provide a counter example, I just had a user experience a failure after a package update that they were not able to resolve with dnf history undo. Maybe this is an example where automated Btrfs snapshots could have saved the day (and made the troubleshooting much easier): Wifi disapered after installing updates
