A number of hypervisors have a mode in which changes made to storage

this functionality something that is interesting to libvirt?
yes I think this is an important use case, it allows for example a
rather trivial and safe implementation of things like open kiosk
you may find in public places (or implement a scratch environment
allowing the kids to play without much risk for a more personal/private
use :-) !)
