There are patches available but even with those booting from snapshots is not possible.

But our bootloader experts want to provide the possibility to boot different kernels where each kernel knows its corresponding snapshots.

I’m looking forward to BtrFS. However, I think it would very helpful if the snapshot would appear in the Grub menu.

This would be helpful if the system got corrupted. The user can choose an earlier snapshot to recover.
