Sure. But do we now exchange this for all the broken systems where replacing root with the snapshot after the transaction? And are we sure the number of broken systems will actually shrink with this change? (and can you prove that?)
That question implies to never dare testing a different approach than
what is currently in use - as you will not be able to guarantee that a
new idea as such works better than the old way of doing things without
testing it.
So far, nobody said that TW will be switching hard to transactional
updates - but having the option available and being able to gain
experiences is certainly a nice thing to have
