I have a great interest in the topic too.
I read the link you provided, and there is a little confusion for me.
I agree with the security consideration in the discussion and memory snapshot can't be used for the cloning instance easily. 

But I think it's safe for the using for Instance revert.
And revert the instance to a checkpoint is valuable for the user. 
Why we didn't use it for instance revert in the first step?

Best regards to you.
