 Review comment:
   I think those two checks are functionally equivalent for this check.  This 
is to effectively check that the number of snapshots has not changed.  I would 
err on the side of equality as the proposed change would conceptually mean that 
you could increase the number of snapshots, which would not be expected in this 
case.
