[opensuse-factory] 12.2 RC2 btrfs subvolumes

Dear all, I tried installing OpenSUSE 12.2 RC2, and all goes well, but I have a remark: Would it not be better to have a separate subvolume for /home if you do not choose a /home separate partition? Zypper + snapper can revert an update, but I do not think it is good to revert both the user documents and the system files in such a case. Also, if it is a separate subvolume, it is perhaps possible to remove the system subvolumes instead of reformatting the entire filesystem and letting the user files in place. "Why not create a separate partition if you want this?" I hear you ask. I only have a 160GB SSD disk in my laptop and since the snapper snapshots will take more place, I would need to make my root partition bigger., but I do not like shrinking my home partition. Furthermore, since you cannot estimate the filesystem usage perfectly, you always loose space and perhaps this can be a way to avoid such waste.
