Sure.  Unless you have some crazy large amount of storage, you'd want
to clean out snapshots periodically.  Though I like the idea of having a
remote server w/ a crazy large amount of storage where long-term snapshots
are kept around for DR, and the source can just have the last 2 weeks
or whatever for users to handle their own restores.
