I think this is clear. This is why we are doing it in QEMU where we can
actually do all the rollbacks transparently.
In
general even libvirt will prefer that upper layer management drives this
externally, since any rolback scenario will result in a policy decision
of what to do in certain cases, and what timeouts to pick.
Architectural ugliness of implementing what is from users perspective a
mechanism and not a policy aside, experience teaches that this isn't
going to happen. People have been talking about the idea of doing
this at the upper layers for years.
