All the new virsh commands for snapshot management follow the convention
of snapshot- prefix (like similar pool-, vol-, net- command prefixes)
except for revert-to-snapshot. From a virsh usability perspective, would
it make sense to rename this command snapshot-revert? I appreciate that
does not capture what the command does as well as revert-to-snapshot but
I think this may be a reasonable trade-off for usability and users
finding the command easily.

Thanks,

Paul
