<blockquote>[snapshotting] is easily solvable elsewhere</blockquote>

To the best of my knowledge, even if you do this at the LVM level, you
need file system support, in order to get a snapshot of a consistent
file system. Also, snapshotting at the file system will often be more
efficient (e.g., no need to back up blocks for new files). So I
believe that the file system is a better place for snapshotting than
LVM.
